Translation

There are two ways to meet a glorious death, and both are very rare. One is to die after performing mystic yoga, especially bhakti-yoga, by which one can control the mind and living force and die absorbed in thought of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The second is to die on the battlefield, leading the army and never showing one’s back. These two kinds of death are recommended in the śāstra as glorious.

इस पाठ-साक्षी का श्लोक-पता वर्तमान ŚB मार्ग से ठीक मिलता है। गीता प्रेस और वर्तमान अंग्रेज़ी पाठ को मिलाया नहीं गया है; दोनों अपने-अपने स्रोत-रूप में साथ पढ़े जा सकते हैं।

ŚB 6.10.33 · गीता प्रेस पाठ

द्वौ संमताविह मृत्यू दुरापौ यद् ब्रह्मसंधारणया जितासु:। कलेवरं योगरतो विजह्याद् यदग्रणीर्वीरशयेऽनिवृत्त: ॥ ३३

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

संसारमें दो प्रकारकी मृत्यु परम दुर्लभ और श्रेष्ठ मानी गयी है—एक तो योगी पुरुषका अपने प्राणोंको वशमें करके ब्रह्मचिन्तनके द्वारा शरीरका परित्याग और दूसरा युद्धभूमिमें सेनाके आगे रहकर बिना पीठ दिखाये जूझ मरना (तुमलोग भला, ऐसा शुभ अवसर क्यों खो रहे हो)’॥ ३३॥

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।
