Translation

In the cycle of material activities, the material body resembles the wheel of a mental chariot. The ten senses [five for working and five for gathering knowledge] and the five life airs within the body form the fifteen spokes of the chariot’s wheel. The three modes of nature [goodness, passion and ignorance] are its center of activities, and the eight ingredients of nature [earth, water, fire, air, sky, mind, intelligence and false ego] comprise the rim of the wheel. The external, material energy moves this wheel like electrical energy. Thus the wheel revolves very quickly around its hub or central support, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the Supersoul and the ultimate truth. We offer our respectful obeisances unto Him.

अजस्य चक्रं त्वजयेर्यमाणं मनोमयं पञ्चदशारमाशु। त्रिणाभि विद्युच्चलमष्टनेमि यदक्षमाहुस्तमृतं प्रपद्ये॥ २८

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

यह शरीर जीवका एक मनोमय चक्र (रथका पहिया) है। दस इन्द्रिय और पाँच प्राण—ये पंद्रह इसके अरे हैं। सत्त्व, रज और तम—ये तीन गुण इसकी नाभि हैं। पृथ्वी, जल, तेज, वायु, आकाश, मन, बुद्धि और अहंकार—ये आठ इसमें नेमि (पहियेका घेरा) हैं। स्वयं माया इसका संचालन करती है और यह बिजलीसे भी अधिक शीघ्रगामी है। इस चक्रके धुरे हैं स्वयं परमात्मा। वे ही एकमात्र सत्य हैं। हम उनकी शरणमें हैं॥ २८॥

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।
