ŚB 7.6.6 · गीता प्रेस पाठ

पुंसो वर्षशतं ह्यायुस्तदर्धं चाजितात्मन:। निष्फलं यदसौ रात्र्यां शेतेऽन्धं प्रापितस्तम:॥ ६

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

मनुष्यकी पूरी आयु सौ वर्षकी है। जिन्होंने अपनी इन्द्रियोंको वशमें नहीं कर लिया है, उनकी आयुका आधा हिस्सा तो यों ही बीत जाता है। क्योंकि वे रातमें घोर तमोगुण—अज्ञानसे ग्रस्त होकर सोते रहते हैं॥ ६॥

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।
