अध्याय तिसरा

II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

ऐशी हे आदि परंपरा I संक्षेपें तुज धनुर्धरा I सांगितली या अध्वरा I लागूनियां II 138 II
म्हणूनि समूळ हा उचितु I स्वधर्मरूप ऋतु I नानुष्ठी जो मत्तु I लोकीं इये II 139 II
तो पातकांची राशी I जाण भार भूमीसी I जे कुकर्में इंद्रियांसी I उपेगा गेला II 140 II
तें जन्मकर्म सकळ I अर्जुना अतिनिष्फळ I जैसें कां अभ्रपटळ I अकाळींचें II 141 II
कां गळां स्तन अजेचे I तैसें जियालें देखें तयाचें I जया अधिष्ठान स्वधर्माचें I घडेचिना II 142 II
म्हणोनि ऐकें पांडवा I हा स्वधर्मु कवणें न संडावा I सर्वभावें भजावा I हाचि एकु II 143 II
हां गा शरीर जरी जाहलें I तरी कर्तव्य वोघें आलें I मग उचित कां आपुलें I वोसंडावें II 144 II
परिस पां सव्यसाची I मूर्ती लाहोनि देहाची I खंती खरिती कर्माची I ते गांवढे गा II 145 II

"This was the background in brief of the Swa-dharma yadnya said Lord Krishna to Arjun. The stubbornly ignorant however stays away from it. Engrossed in the sense gratification all the time, he is accompanied by loads of sin. His very existence is as vainly as the clouded sky when least expected or an vainly as the skin appendage that hangs under the goats neck listlessly and serves absolutely no known function. And therefore Parth, urged Lord Krishna, one must do the prescribed duties based on their nature and disposition diligently and wholeheartedly. As soon as we assume this body, the prescribed duties come as an inherent part of it. If this is so what's the point of refusing to follow it? The truly ignorant are those who are reluctant to follow their prescribed duties that comes by their nature and disposition."
