Shloka 17
श्रेयो-धर्मकर्मविचारः
Inquiry into Śreyas, Dharma, and Karma
कर्मणा स्वनुरक्तानि विरक्तानि च दानव | यथा कर्मविशेषांश्र प्राप्रुवन्ति तथा शूणु
bhīṣma uvāca | karmaṇā svānuraktāni viraktāni ca dānava | yathā karma-viśeṣāṁś ca prāpnuvanti tathā śṛṇu |
भीष्म म्हणाले—हे दानवा! प्राणी आपल्या कर्मांनुसार अनुरक्त किंवा विरक्त होतात. आता ऐक—विशिष्ट कर्मांप्रमाणे, राग उत्पन्न करणाऱ्या व वैराग्य उत्पन्न करणाऱ्या अवस्था ते कशा प्रकारे प्राप्त करतात।
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
That attachment and detachment are not random traits but arise from one’s actions: different kinds of karma cultivate corresponding mental dispositions and lead to matching outcomes.
Bhishma addresses a Danava and introduces an explanation of how beings, shaped by specific actions, come to states of passion (raga) or dispassion (viraga), setting up a broader ethical teaching on karma and its results.
