सहजं कर्म कौन्तेय सदोषमपि न त्यजेत् | सर्वारम्भा हि दोषेण धूमेनाग्निरिवावृताः
sahajaṃ karma kaunteya sadoṣamapi na tyajet . sarvārambhā hi doṣeṇa dhūmenāgnirivāvṛtāḥ
俱提之子啊，即使生而俱來之業有缺陷，亦不應捨棄。因為一切事業皆為缺陷所包圍，如同火焰為煙霧所籠罩。
O son of Kunti, one should not give up the duty to which one is born, even though it be faulty. For all undertakings are surrounded with evil, as fire is with smoke.
「Sahajam」（薩哈瞻）：生而俱來，與人誕生俱生。「Sadosham」（薩多善）：有缺陷，因萬物皆由三種「古納」（Gunas，即德性）構成。一切事業：指自己的職責以及他人的職責。若吠舍（Vaisya）或剎帝利（Kshatriya）履行婆羅門（Brahmana）之職責，將無任何益處。他人的職責會帶來恐懼。因此，履行他人職責是不恰當的。對於任何不具「真我」（Atman）知識之人，不可能完全放棄行動，故不應捨棄行動。
Sahajam Born with oneself born with the birth of man.Sadosham Faculty for everything is constituted of the three Gunas.All undertakings Ones own as well as others duties.If a Vaisya or a Kshatriya does the duties of a Brahmana he will not in any way be benefited. Anothers duty brings in fear. Therefore it is not proper to perform anothers duty. It is not possible for any man who has no knowledge of the Self to relinish action totally therefore he should not abandon action.
