Shloka 50
Daṇḍa as the Foundation of Social Order (दण्डप्रतिष्ठा)
Devanagari script
नात्यन्तं गुणवत् किंचिन्न चाप्यत्यन्तनिर्गुणम् । उभयं सर्वकार्येषु दृश्यते साध्वसाधु वा
Translation
ಅರ್ಜುನನು ಹೇಳಿದನು—ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣವಾಗಿ ಗುಣಮಯವಾದುದು ಯಾವುದೂ ಇಲ್ಲ; ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣವಾಗಿ ಗುಣರಹಿತವಾದುದೂ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಎಲ್ಲ ಕಾರ್ಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದು-ಕೆಟ್ಟದು ಎರಡೂ ಕಾಣುತ್ತವೆ.
