ŚB 12.3.8 · गीता प्रेस पाठ

ममैवेयं मही कृत्स्ना न ते मूढेति वादिन:।
स्पर्धमाना मिथो घ्नन्ति म्रियन्ते मत्कृते नृपा:॥ ८

हिन्दी भावार्थ

वे परस्पर इस प्रकार कहते हैं कि ‘ओ मूढ़! यह सारी पृथ्वी मेरी ही है, तेरी नहीं’, इस प्रकार राजा लोग एक-दूसरेको कहते-सुनते हैं, एक-दूसरेसे स्पर्द्धा करते हैं, मेरे लिये एक-दूसरेको मारते हैं और स्वयं मर मिटते हैं॥ ८॥

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।
