The divine nature is deemed conducive to liberation, and the demonic to bondage. Grieve not, O Arjuna, for you are born with divine endowments.

Swami Sivananda

The divine nature is Liberation, while the demoniacal is considered to be an inevitable bondage. Do not grieve, O son of Pandu! You are destined to possess the divine nature.

The divine wealth is meant for total emancipation, and the demoniac one for complete bondage. Grieve not, O son of Pandu, for the divine wealth you are born.

Godly qualities lead to liberation; godless ones lead to bondage. Do not be anxious, Prince! You have the Godly qualities.

Shri Purohit Swami

दैवी-सम्पत्ति मुक्तिके लिये और आसुरी-सम्पत्ति बन्धनके लिये है। हे पाण्डव तुम दैवी-सम्पत्तिको प्राप्त हुए हो, इसलिये तुम्हें शोक (चिन्ता) नहीं करना चाहिये।

Swami Ramsukhdas

हे पाण्डव ! दैवी सम्पदा मोक्ष के लिए और आसुरी सम्पदा बन्धन के लिए मानी गयी है, तुम शोक मत करो, क्योंकि तुम दैवी सम्पदा को प्राप्त हुए हो।
