ŚB 11.3.17 · गीता प्रेस पाठ

यथैतामैश्‍वरीं मायां दुस्तरामकृतात्मभि:। तरन्त्यंज: स्थूलधियो महर्ष इदमुच्यताम्॥ १७

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

राजा निमिने पूछा— महर्षिजी! इस भगवान्‌की मायाको पार करना उन लोगोंके लिये तो बहुत ही कठिन है, जो अपने मनको वशमें नहीं कर पाये हैं। अब आप कृपा करके यह बताइये कि जो लोग शरीर आदिमें आत्मबुद्धि रखते हैं तथा जिनकी समझ मोटी है, वे भी अनायास ही इसे कैसे पार कर सकते हैं?॥ १७॥

स्रोत-खंड सीमा · यह हिन्दी अंश गीता प्रेस डिजिटल पाठ में इस दृश्य श्लोक-इकाई के बाद आता है; इसे स्वतः एक-से-एक टीका या संस्करण-समानता नहीं माना गया है।
