Moksha Sannyasa Yoga
कच्चिदेतच्छ्रुतं पार्थ त्वयैकाग्रेण चेतसा । कच्चिदज्ञानसंमोहः प्रनष्टस्ते धनंजय ॥ १८.७२ ॥
kaccid etac chrutaṁ pārtha tvayaikāgreṇa cetasā | kaccid ajñāna-sammohaḥ pranaṣṭas te dhanañjaya || 18.72 ||
帕尔塔啊，你是否以专注之心听闻了这一切？达南阇耶啊，你由无明所生的迷妄是否已消除？
हे पार्थ! क्या यह (उपदेश) तुमने एकाग्र चित्त से सुना? हे धनंजय! क्या तुम्हारा अज्ञानजन्य मोह नष्ट हो गया?
Have you heard this, O Pārtha, with a one-pointed mind? Has your delusion born of ignorance been destroyed, O Dhanañjaya?
No major doctrinal variant; translation nuance concerns ‘eka-agra’ as sustained attention versus meditative one-pointedness.
