शरीरवाङ्मनोभिर्यत्कर्म प्रारभते नरः | न्याय्यं वा विपरीतं वा पञ्चैते तस्य हेतवः
śarīravāṅmanobhiryatkarma prārabhate naraḥ . nyāyyaṃ vā viparītaṃ vā pañcaite tasya hetavaḥ
無論一個人以身體、言語或心意所從事的任何行為,無論是正當的,抑或是其反面,這五種因素都是其原因。
Whatever action a man performs with the body, speech and mind, be it just or its reverse, of it these five are the cuases.
「正當的」(Nyayyam)指正確的,不違背「法」(Dharma),符合經典,合理。「反面」(Viparitam)指與「法」相反,違背經典,不合理。即使是眨眼等生命必需的行為,也被「正當的」和「反面」一詞所指,因為它們是過去「法」(Dharma)和「非法」(Adharma)的結果。「它的原因」(Tasya Hetavah)指所有行為的原因。有反對者認為:在上一詩節中說,身體、行為者、各種感官等是所有行為的必要因素。那麼,為什麼你又透過說「無論一個人以身體、言語或心意所從事的任何行為」來區分行為呢?我們的回答是:在執行任何行為時,身體、言語或心意三者之一,比其他因素佔有更突出的份額,而看、聽和其他伴隨或與生命相關的活動則從屬於那個主要因素。因此,所有行為都被分為三組,並被稱為由身體、言語或心意所做。行為的果報也透過身體、言語和心意來享受,其中之一佔有比其他因素更突出的份額。因此,說「無論一個人以身體、言語或心意所從事的任何行為」是恰當的。
Nyayyam Right Not opposed to Dharma conformable to the scriptures justifiable.Viparitam The opposite What is opposite to Dharma and opposed to the scriptures unjustifiable.Even those actions? -- acts like winking and the like which are necessary conditions of life? are indicated by the term the right and the reverse? as they are effects of past Dharma and Adharma.Tasya Hetavah Its Causes The causes of every action.An objector argues In the previous verse it is said that the body? actor? various organs? etc.? are the necessary factors of every action. Why do you then make a distinction in actions by saying whatever action a man does by the body? speech and mindOur answer is In the performance of every action? one of the three -- body? speech or mind -- has a more prominent share than the others while seeing? hearing and other activities which accompany or go along with life are subordinate to that one.Therefore all actions are classified under three groups and are spoken of as done by the body or speech or mind. The fruit of an actions also is enjoyed through the body? speech and mind and one of the three takes a more prominent share than the rest. Therefore? it is proper to say Whatever action a man performs with his body? speech and mind৷৷.
