Shloka 30
कालयुक्तधर्मविवेकः
Discerning Dharma in Accord with Time
दुष्प्रणितेन मनसा दुष्प्रणीततरा कृति: । मनो बद्ध्यति येनेह शृणु वाक्यं शुभानने
duṣpraṇītena manasā duṣpraṇītarā kṛtiḥ | mano baddhyati yeneha śṛṇu vākyaṃ śubhānane śubhānane ||
দুৰ্নিয়ন্ত্রিত মন থাকিলে কৰ্ম অধিক ভ্ৰষ্ট আৰু কলুষিত হয়; তেনে আচৰণে এই লোকতে মন বন্ধনত পৰে। সেয়ে, হে শুভাননে, এই বিষয়ত মোৰ বাক্য শুনা।

Educational Q&A
A wrongly directed mind corrupts one’s actions; those actions in turn create bondage for the mind. Ethical life begins with disciplining intention and thought, not merely outward behavior.
Śrī Maheśvara addresses a person called “Śubhānanā,” introducing an instruction: he explains how misguided mental impulses lead to tainted deeds and consequent bondage, and urges the listener to hear his guidance.
