यया धर्ममधर्मं च कार्यं चाकार्यमेव च | अयथावत्प्रजानाति बुद्धिः सा पार्थ राजसी
yayā dharmamadharmaṃ ca kāryaṃ cākāryameva ca . ayathāvatprajānāti buddhiḥ sā pārtha rājasī
喔,波陀之子,那錯誤地理解達摩(Dharma)與阿達摩(Adharma),以及應做與不應做之事的智慧,是屬於變性(Rajas)的。
O Partha, that intellect is born of rajas with which one wrongly understands virtue and vice as also what ought to be done and ought not to be done.
英語中沒有與「達摩」(Dharma)一詞完全對應的詞。職責、正義、美德、法律都是對這個詞非常貧乏的翻譯。那提升你並引導你達到目標,即梵(Brahman)或自我(Self)的,是達摩。那將你投入無知黑暗深淵的,是阿達摩。經典所規定的,是達摩;經典所禁止的,是阿達摩。變性(Rajasic)的智慧無法區分對錯,也無法理解正義與不正義行為之間的區別。Ayathavat 錯誤地:與所有權威或智者所確定的,或與最高知識相悖。
There is no proper eivalent in the English language for the word Dharma. Duty? righteousness? virtue? law are very poor translations of the word. That which elevates you and takes you to the goal? i.e.? Brahman or the Self? is Dharma. That which hurls you down into the dark abyss of ignorance is Adharma. What is ordained in the scriptures is Dharma what is prohibited by them is Adharma. A Rajasic intellect is not able to distinguish between right and wrong or to understand the difference between righteous and unrighteous actions.Ayathavat Wrongly Contrary to what is determined by all authorities or men of wisdom or to the highest knowledge.
