हिन्दी अनुवाद
भोग और ऐश्वर्य में आसक्त तथा ऐसी वाणी से जिनका चित्त हर लिया गया है, उन लोगों की निश्चय वाली बुद्धि समाधि में नहीं ठहरती।
— Siraat — सरल हिन्दी अनुवाद
English Meaning
O Pârtha, no set determination is formed in the minds of those that are deeply attached to pleasure and power, and whose discrimination is stolen away by the flowery words of the unwise, who are full of desires and look upon heaven as their highest goal and who, taking pleasure in the panegyric words of the Vedas, declare that there is nothing else. Their (flowery) words are exuberant with various specific, rites as the means to pleasure and power and are the causes of (new) births as the result of their works (performed with desire).
