Shri Purohit Swami

अर्जुन बोले -- हे जनार्दन! अगर आप कर्मसे बुद्धि- (ज्ञान-) को श्रेष्ठ मानते हैं, तो फिर हे केशव! मुझे घोर कर्ममें क्यों लगाते हैं ? आप अपने मिले हुए-से वचनोंसे मेरी बुद्धिको मोहित-सी कर रहे हैं। अतः आप निश्चय करके एक बात को कहिये, जिससे मैं कल्याणको प्राप्त हो जाऊँ।

Swami Ramsukhdas

आप इस मिश्रित वाक्य से मेरी बुद्धि को मोहितसा करते हैं अत आप उस एक (मार्ग) को निश्चित रूप से कहिये जिससे मैं परम श्रेय को प्राप्त कर सकूँ।

Swami Tejomayananda
