भोगैश्वर्यप्रसक्तानां तयापह्तचेतसाम् | व्यवसायात्मिका बुद्धि: समाधौ न विधीयते
bhogaiśvarya-prasaktānāṃ tayāpahṛta-cetasām | vyavasāyātmikā buddhiḥ samādhau na vidhīyate ||
သဉ္ဇယက ပြော၏—ပျော်ရွှင်မှုနှင့် အာဏာအပေါ် အလွန်ကပ်လှုပ်နေသူတို့၊ ဆုလာဘ်ကတိပေးသည့် လှည့်စားသောစကားကြောင့် စိတ်အာရုံ လွှမ်းမိုးခံရသူတို့အတွက် သမာဓိသို့ ဦးတည်သော တစ်ချက်တည်းတည်မြဲသည့် ဆုံးဖြတ်ဉာဏ် မတည်ထောင်နိုင်။

Educational Q&A
Attachment to pleasure (bhoga) and worldly power (aiśvarya), especially when reinforced by enticing reward-centered discourse, distracts the mind and prevents the rise of resolute, single-pointed discernment (vyavasāyātmikā buddhi) necessary for samādhi—inner steadiness that supports righteous action.
Sañjaya reports a teaching addressed to Arjuna in the war-context: a critique of people whose minds are captivated by promises of enjoyment and status. The point is to redirect Arjuna from reward-seeking motivations toward focused understanding and inner composure amid the impending conflict.
