Sanskrit, transliteration, word meanings, and translation for steady Bhāgavata reading.

गुणदोषभिदाद‍ृष्टिर्निगमात्ते न हि स्वत: । निगमेनापवादश्च भिदाया इति ह भ्रम: ॥ ५ ॥

Transliteration

guṇa-doṣa-bhidā-dṛṣṭir nigamāt te na hi svataḥ nigamenāpavādaś ca bhidāyā iti ha bhramaḥ
Synonyms
guṇa — piety; doṣa — sin; bhidā — the difference between; dṛṣṭiḥ — seeing; nigamāt — from Vedic knowledge; te — Your; na — not; hi — indeed; svataḥ — automatically; nigamena — by the Vedas; apavādaḥ — nullification; ca — also; bhidāyāḥ — of such distinction; iti — thus; ha — clearly; bhramaḥ — confusion.

Translation

My dear Lord, the distinction observed between piety and sin comes from Your own Vedic knowledge and does not arise by itself. If the same Vedic literature subsequently nullifies such distinction between piety and sin, there will certainly be confusion.
