Swami Ramsukhdas (Hindi)
।।3.23 — 3.24।। हे पार्थ! अगर मैं किसी समय सावधान होकर कर्तव्यकर्म न करूँ तो बड़ी हानि हो जाय; क्योंकि मनुष्य सब प्रकारसे मेरे ही मार्गका अनुसरण करते हैं। यदि मैं कर्म न करूँ, तो ये सब मनुष्य नष्ट-भ्रष्ट हो जायँ और मैं वर्णसंकरताको करनेवाला होऊँ तथा इस समस्त प्रजाको नष्ट करनेवाला बनूँ।
Swami Tejomayananda (Hindi)
।।3.23।। यदि मैं सावधान हुआ (अतन्द्रित:) कदाचित कर्म में न लगा रहूँ तो, हे पार्थ ! सब प्रकार से मनुष्य मेरे मार्ग (र्वत्म) का अनुसरण करेंगे।।
