Translations by Teachers (आचार्यो द्वारा अनुवाद):
Swami Ramsukhdas (Hindi)
।।2.45।। वेद तीनों गुणोंके कार्यका ही वर्णन करनेवाले हैं; हे अर्जुन! तू तीनों गुणोंसे रहित हो जा, निर्द्वन्द्व हो जा, निरन्तर नित्य वस्तु परमात्मा में स्थित हो जा, योगक्षेमकी चाहना भी मत रख और परमात्मपरायण हो जा।
Swami Tejomayananda (Hindi)
।।2.45।। हे अर्जुन वेदों का विषय तीन गुणों से सम्बन्धित (संसार से) है तुम त्रिगुणातीत? निर्द्वन्द्व? नित्य सत्त्व (शुद्धता) में स्थित? योगक्षेम से रहित और आत्मवान् बनो।।
Swami Adidevananda (English)
The Vedas have the three Gunas as their sphere, O Arjuna. You must be free from the three Gunas and be free from the pairs of opposites. Abide in pure Sattva; never care to acquire things and to protect what has been acquired, but be established in the Self.
Swami Gambirananda (English)
O Arjuna, the Vedas [Meaning only the portion dealing with rites and duties (karma-kanda).] have the three qualities as their object. You become free from worldliness, free from the pairs of duality, ever-poised in the quality of sattva, without (desire for) acquisition and protection, and self-collected.
Swami Sivananda (English)
The Vedas deal with the three attributes; be thou above these three attributes. O Arjuna, free yourself from the pairs of opposites and ever remain in the quality of Sattva, freed from acquisition and preservation, and be established in the Self.
Dr. S. Sankaranarayan (English)
The Vedas bind through the three strands. Therefore, O Arjuna, be free from the three strands, free from the pairs of opposites; be established in this eternal Being; be free from acquisition and preservation; and possess the Self.
Shri Purohit Swami (English)
The Vedic Scriptures tell of the three constituents of life—the Qualities. Rise above all of them, O Arjuna, above all the pairs of opposing sensations; be steadfast in truth, free from worldly anxieties, and centered in the Self.
