न मे पार्थास्ति कर्तव्यं त्रिषु लोकेषु किञ्चन | नानवाप्तमवाप्तव्यं वर्त एव च कर्मणि
na me pārthāsti kartavyaṃ triṣu lokeṣu kiñcana . nānavāptamavāptavyaṃ varta eva ca karmaṇi
帕爾特啊!在三界之中,我沒有任何必須履行的職責;沒有什麼是未曾獲得或需要獲得的。然而,我仍舊持續行動。
In all the three worlds, O Partha, there is no duty whatsoever for Me (to fulfil); nothing remains unachieved or to be achieved. [According to S. the translation of this portion is: There is nothing unattained that should be attained.-Tr.] (Still) do I continue in action.
我是宇宙之主,因此我沒有任何個人理由去採取行動。我無需達成任何目標,因為我擁有所有神聖的財富,宇宙的財富皆為我所有。儘管如此,我仍然持續行動。你為何不效仿我的榜樣?你為何不努力透過樹立榜樣來阻止大眾走上錯誤的道路?如果你樹立榜樣,人們就會追隨你,因為你是一位具有高尚品格的領袖。
I am the Lord of the universe and therefore I have no personal grounds to engage. Myself in action. I have nothing to achieve as I have all divine wealth? as the wealth of the universe is Mine? and yet I engage Myself in action.Why do you not follow My example Why do you not endeavour to prevent the masses from following the wrong path by setting an example yourself If you set an example? people will follow you as you are a leader with noble alities.
