सत्कारमानपूजार्थं तपो दम्भेन चैव यत् | क्रियते तदिह प्रोक्तं राजसं चलमध्रुवम्
satkāramānapūjārthaṃ tapo dambhena caiva yat . kriyate tadiha proktaṃ rājasaṃ calamadhruvam
那為求受人尊敬、榮譽與供奉,且虛偽矯飾而行的苦行,在此世間被稱為羅闍性 (Rajas) 之行,其不穩定且無常。
That austerity which is undertaken for earning a name, being honoured and worshipped, and also ostentatiously,-that is spoken of as born of rajas, belonging to this world, uncertain and transitory.
這種苦行並非出於真誠的信仰,而是為了炫耀,以提升自我重要性,期望世人給予尊重、榮譽和讚美。此類苦行被視為羅闍性 (Rajas) 的表現,其成果僅限於此世,且不穩定、轉瞬即逝,缺乏堅固的基礎。
Penance that is performed with no sincere belief? for mere show? with a view to increase selfimportance? in order that the world may pay respect to the performer and place him in the seat of honour? and that everyone may sing his praise? is declared to be of a passionate nature.Iha In this world Such penance yields fruit only in this world.Satkara Good reception with such words as? Here is a good Brahmana of great austerities.Mana Honour Rising from ones seat to greet? and saluting with reverence.Chalam Unstable Yielding momentary effect or result.Adhruvam Without Niyama or fixity.Penance that is performed in the hope of gaining fame is worse than useless. It bears no fruit. It is abandoned though incomplete? when it is seen that is can result in no gain.
