My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

The Bhagavat said, "O dear Partha! Neither in this world nor in the other is there destruction for him. Certainly, no one who performs an auspicious act ever comes to a grievous state."

Shri Purohit Swami

Lord Shri Krishna replied: My beloved child! There is no destruction for him, either in this world or in the next. No evil fate awaits him who treads the path of righteousness.

Swami Adidevananda

The Lord said Neither here (in this world) nor there (in the next), Arjuna, is there destruction for him. For, no one who does good ever comes to an evil end.

Swami Gambirananda

The Blessed Lord said O Partha, there is certainly no ruin for him here or hereafter. For, no one engaged in good meets with a deplorable end, My son!

Swami Sivananda

O Arjuna, neither in this world, nor in the next world is there destruction for him; none, verily, who does good, O My son, ever comes to grief!

My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Or, he is born nowhere else but in the family of the intelligent men of Yoga; for, this birth is more difficult to obtain in the world.

Shri Purohit Swami

Or, he may be born in the family of the wise sages, though a birth like this is, indeed, very difficult to obtain.

Swami Adidevananda

Or he is born in a family of wise Yogins. But such a birth in this world is rarer to get.

Swami Gambirananda

Or he is born in the family of wise yogis [Persons possessing knowledge of Brahman. (S. concedes that some rare householders also can have this knowledge, and he cites the instances of Vasistha, Agastya, Janaka and Asvapati of olden days, and Vacaspati and the author of Khanada of recent times.)] only. Such a birth as is of this kind is surely more difficult to get in the world.

Swami Sivananda

Or he is born in a family of even the wise Yogis; verily a birth like this is very difficult to obtain in this world.
