Sanskrit, transliteration, word meanings, and translation for steady Bhāgavata reading.

Sanskrit

यथा वार्तादयो ह्यर्था योगस्यार्थं न बिभ्रति । अनर्थाय भवेयु: स्म पूर्तमिष्टं तथासत: ॥ २९ ॥

Transliteration

yathā vārtādayo hy arthā yogasyārthaṁ na bibhrati anarthāya bhaveyuḥ sma pūrtam iṣṭaṁ tathāsataḥ
Synonyms
yathā — as; vārtā-ādayaḥ — activities like occupational or professional duties; hi — certainly; arthāḥ — income (from such occupational duties); yogasya — of mystic power for self-realization; artham — benefit; na — not; bibhrati — help; anarthāya — without value (binding one to repeated birth and death); bhaveyuḥ — they are; sma — at all times; pūrtam iṣṭam — ritualistic Vedic ceremonies; tathā — similarly; asataḥ — of a materialistic nondevotee.

Translation

As professional activities or business profits cannot help one in spiritual advancement but are a source of material entanglement, the Vedic ritualistic ceremonies cannot help anyone who is not a devotee of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
