मां हि पार्थ व्यपाश्रित्य येऽपि स्युः पापयोनयः | स्त्रियो वैश्यास्तथा शूद्रास्तेऽपि यान्ति परां गतिम्
māṃ hi pārtha vyapāśritya ye.api syuḥ pāpayonayaḥ . striyo vaiśyāstathā śūdrāste.api yānti parāṃ gatim
因為，普利塔之子啊，即使是那些出身卑微（pāpayonayaḥ）的人——婦女、吠舍（Vaisyas）以及首陀羅（Sudras）——他們也藉由皈依我而達到至高目標。
For, O son of Prtha, even those who are born of sin-women, Vaisyas, as also Sudras [S.'s construction of this portion is: women, Vaisyas as also Sudras, and even others who are born of sin (i.e., those who are born low and are of vile deeds, viz Mlecchas, Pukkasas and others). M.S. also takes papa-yonayah (born of sin) as a separate phrase, and classifies women and others only as those darred from Vedic study, etc.-Tr.]-, even they reach the highest Goal by taking shelter under Me.
賤民（Chandalas）是罪惡之生。婦女和首陀羅因社會規範而被禁止學習吠陀經。重要的是虔誠。家族傳統並非必要。大象伽真陀羅（Gajendra）以虔誠憶念我，儘管是動物，也達到了我。最卑微和最惡劣的人，只要有信仰和虔誠，只要歌唱和重複我的名號，只要時刻思念我而不思念任何世俗之物，他們就能達到我。普拉赫拉達（Prahlada）是個惡魔，卻因其虔誠迫使我化身為那羅辛哈（Narasimha）。出身無關緊要，虔誠才是一切。牧牛女（Gopis）透過她們的虔誠達到了我。坎薩（Kamsa）和羅波那（Ravana）透過恐懼達到了我。西蘇帕拉（Sisupala）透過憎恨達到了我。那羅陀（Narada）、杜魯瓦（Dhruva）、阿克魯拉（Akrura）、蘇卡（Suka）、薩那特庫瑪拉（Sanatkumara）等人透過他們的虔誠達到了我。南丹（Nandan），一個低種姓但濕婆神（Lord Siva）的偉大奉獻者，在南印度奇丹巴拉姆（Chidambaram）直接見到了主。賴達斯（Raidas），一個鞋匠，是個偉大奉獻者。在靈性生活或精神領域，所有外在的種姓、膚色和信仰區別都完全消失。沙巴里（Shabari），雖然出身比爾尼（Bhilni，一個部落），卻是羅摩主（Lord Rama）的偉大奉獻者。印度教經典充滿了這樣的例子。印度教並不將救贖限制於任何一個群體或人類的某個部分。所有人都可以在有虔誠的情況下達到神。
Chandalas or outcastes are of a sinful birth. Women and Sudras are darred by social rules from the study of the Vedas. What is wanted is devotion. There is no need for family traditions. The elephant Gajendra remembered Me with devotion and attained Me in spite of his being an animal. The lowest of the low and the vilest of the vile can attain Me if they have faith and devotion? if they sing and repeat My Name and if they think of Me always and think of no worldy object.Prahlada was a demon and yet by his devotion forced Me to incarnate as Narasimha. Birth is immaterial. Devotion is everything. The Gopis attained Me through their devotion. Kamsa and Ravana attained Me through fear. Sisupala reached Me through hatred. Narada? Dhruva? Akrura? Suka? Sanatkumara and others attined Me through their devotion. Nandan? a man of low caste but a great devotee of Lord Siva? had direct vision of the Lord in Chidambaram in South India. Raidas? a cobbler? was a great devotee. In the spiritual life or in the Adhyatmic sphere all the external distinctions of caste? colour and creed disappear altogether. Shabari? though a Bhilni (a tribe) by birth? was a great devotee of Lord Rama.Hindu scriptures are full of such instances. Hinduism does not restrict salvation to any one group or section of humanity. All can attain God if they have devotion.
