Sanskrit, transliteration, word meanings, and translation for steady Bhāgavata reading.
Sanskrit
न नर: स्वर्गतिं काङ्क्षेन्नारकीं वा विचक्षण: ।
नेमं लोकं च काङ्क्षेत देहावेशात् प्रमाद्यति ॥ १३ ॥
Transliteration
na naraḥ svar-gatiṁ kāṅkṣen
nārakīṁ vā vicakṣaṇaḥ
nemaṁ lokaṁ ca kāṅkṣeta
dehāveśāt pramādyati
Synonyms
na — never; naraḥ — a human being; svaḥ-gatim — promotion to heaven; kāṅkṣet — should desire; nārakīm — to hell; vā — or; vicakṣaṇaḥ — a learned person; na — nor; imam — this; lokam — earth planet; ca — also; kāṅkṣeta — one should desire; deha — in the material body; āveśāt — from absorption; pramādyati — one becomes a fool.
Translation
A human being who is wise should never desire promotion to heavenly planets or residence in hell. Indeed, a human being should also never desire permanent residence on the earth, for by such absorption in the material body one becomes foolishly negligent of one’s actual self-interest.
