अकिञ्चनानां हि धनं शिलोञ्छनं तेनेह निर्वर्तितसाधुसत्क्रिय: । कथं विगर्ह्यं नु करोम्यधीश्वरा: पौरोधसं हृष्यति येन दुर्मति: ॥ ३६ ॥

Synonyms
akiñcanānām — of persons who have taken to austerities and penances to become detached from worldly possessions; hi — certainly; dhanam — the wealth; śila — the collecting of grains left in the field; uñchanam — and the collecting of grains left in the wholesale marketplace; tena — by that means; iha — here; nirvartita — accomplishing; sādhu — of the exalted devotees; sat-kriyaḥ — all the pious activities; katham — how; vigarhyam — reproachable; nu — indeed; karomi — I shall execute; adhīśvarāḥ — O great governors of the planetary systems; paurodhasam — the duty of priesthood; hṛṣyati — is pleased; yena — by which; durmatiḥ — one who is less intelligent.

Translation

O exalted governors of various planets, the true brāhmaṇa, who has no material possessions, maintains himself by the profession of accepting śiloñchana. In other words, he picks up grains left in the field and on the ground in the wholesale marketplace. By this means, householder brāhmaṇas who actually abide by the principles of austerity and penance maintain themselves and their families and perform all necessary pious activities. A brāhmaṇa who desires to achieve happiness by gaining wealth through professional priesthood must certainly have a very low mind. How shall I accept such priesthood?

अकिञ्चनानां हि धनं शिलोञ्छनं तेनेह निर्वर्तितसाधुसत्क्रिय:। कथं विगर्ह्यं नु करोम्यधीश्‍वरा: पौरोधसं हृष्यति येन दुर्मति:॥ ३६

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

देवगण! हम अकिंचन हैं। खेती कट जानेपर अथवा अनाजकी हाट उठ जानेपर उसमेंसे गिरे हुए कुछ दाने चुन लाते हैं और उसीसे अपने देवकार्य तथा पितृकार्य सम्पन्‍न कर लेते हैं। लोकपालो! इस प्रकार जब मेरी जीविका चल ही रही है, तब मैं पुरोहितीकी निन्दनीय वृत्ति क्यों करूँ? उससे तो केवल वे ही लोग प्रसन्‍न होते हैं, जिनकी बुद्धि बिगड़ गयी है॥ ३६॥ जो काम आपलोग मुझसे कराना चाहते हैं वह निन्दनीय है—फिर भी मैं आपके कामसे मुँह नहीं मोड़ सकता; क्योंकि आपलोगोंकी माँग ही कितनी है। इसलिये आपलोगोंका मनोरथ मैं तन-मन-धनसे पूरा करूँगा॥ ३७॥

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।
