ŚB 7.14.38 · गीता प्रेस पाठ

तेष्वेषु भगवान् राजंस्तारतम्येन वर्तते। तस्मात् पात्रं हि पुरुषो यावानात्मा यथेयते॥ ३८

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

युधिष्ठिर! एकरस रहते हुए भी भगवान् इन मनुष्यादि शरीरोंमें उनकी विभिन्‍नताके कारण न्यूनाधिकरूपसे प्रकाशमान हैं। इसलिये पशु-पक्षी आदि शरीरोंकी अपेक्षा मनुष्य ही श्रेष्ठ पात्र हैं और मनुष्योंमें भी, जिसमें भगवान्‌का अंश—तप-योगादि जितना ही अधिक पाया जाता है, वह उतना ही श्रेष्ठ है॥ ३८॥

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।
