एवं प्रवर्तितं चक्रं नानुवर्तयतीह यः | अघायुरिन्द्रियारामो मोघं पार्थ स जीवति
evaṃ pravartitaṃ cakraṃ nānuvartayatīha yaḥ . aghāyurindriyārāmo moghaṃ pārtha sa jīvati
喔，波羅多之子（Partha）啊！凡不順從此已啟動之生命之輪者，其生命充滿罪惡，沉溺於感官享樂，此人實為虛度一生。
O Partha, he lives in vain who does not follow here the wheel thus set in motion, whose life is sinful, and who indulges in the senses.
此處所指的「生命之輪」是造物主基於《吠陀》和祭祀而啟動的行動循環。凡不遵循此輪，不研習《吠陀》、不履行其中規定的祭祀，卻只沉溺於感官享樂者，其生命實屬虛擲，毫無價值。此人違反了造物主的法則，犯下了最嚴重的罪惡。
This is the wheel of action set in motion by the Creator on the basis of the Veda and sacrifice.He who does not follow the wheel by studying the Vedas and performing the sacrifices prescribed therein but who indulges only in sensual pleasures lives in vain. He is wasting his life. He is leading a worthless life indeed.One who does not live in accordance with this law and who is selfish commits sin. He violates the law of the Creator and that is the worst sin.
