श्रीआविर्होत्र उवाच कर्माकर्मविकर्मेति वेदवादो न लौकिक: । वेदस्य चेश्वरात्मत्वात् तत्र मुह्यन्ति सूरय: ॥ ४३ ॥

Transliteration

śrī-āvirhotra uvāca karmākarma vikarmeti veda-vādo na laukikaḥ vedasya ceśvarātmatvāt tatra muhyanti sūrayaḥ
Synonyms
śrī-āvirhotraḥ uvāca — the sage Āvirhotra said; karma — the execution of duties prescribed by scripture; akarma — failure to perform such duties; vikarma — engagement in forbidden activities; iti — thus; veda-vādaḥ — subject matter understood through the Vedas; na — not; laukikaḥ — mundane; vedasya — of the vedas; ca — and; īśvara-ātmatvāt — because of coming from the Personality of Godhead Himself; tatra — in this matter; muhyanti — become confused; sūrayaḥ — (even) great scholarly authorities.

Translation

Śrī Āvirhotra replied: Prescribed duties, nonperformance of such duties, and forbidden activities are topics one can properly understand through authorized study of the Vedic literature. This difficult subject matter can never be understood by mundane speculation. The authorized Vedic literature is the sound incarnation of the Personality of Godhead Himself, and thus Vedic knowledge is perfect. Even the greatest learned scholars are bewildered in their attempts to understand the science of action if they neglect the authority of Vedic knowledge.

कर्माकर्मविकर्मेति वेदवादो न लौकिक:। वेदस्य चेश्‍वरात्मत्वात् तत्र मुह्यन्ति सूरय:॥ ४३

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

अब छठे योगीश्‍वर आविर्होत्रजीने कहा— राजन्! कर्म (शास्त्रविहित), अकर्म (निषिद्ध) और विकर्म (विहितका उल्लंघन)—ये तीनों एकमात्र वेदके द्वारा जाने जाते हैं, इनकी व्यवस्था लौकिक रीतिसे नहीं होती। वेद अपौरुषेय हैं—ईश्‍वररूप हैं; इसलिये उनके तात्पर्यका निश्‍चय करना बहुत कठिन है। इसीसे बड़े-बड़े विद्वान् भी उनके अभिप्रायका निर्णय करनेमें भूल कर बैठते हैं। (इसीसे तुम्हारे बचपनकी ओर देखकर—तुम्हें अनधिकारी समझकर सनकादि ऋषियोंने तुम्हारे प्रश्‍नका उत्तर नहीं दिया)॥ ४३॥

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।
