Swami Adidevananda (English)
The all-pervasive One takes away neither the sin nor the merit of anyone. Knowledge is enveloped by ignorance, and creatures are thereby deluded.
Swami Gambirananda (English)
The Omnipresent neither accepts anyone’s sin nor even virtue; knowledge remains covered by ignorance, thus the creatures become deluded.
Swami Sivananda (English)
The Lord takes neither the demerit nor the merit of any; knowledge is enveloped by ignorance, and beings are deluded.
Dr. S. Sankaranarayan (English)
The Omnimanifest Soul takes neither sin nor merit born of any action upon itself. But, perfect knowledge is clouded by Illusion, and thus the creatures are deluded.
Shri Purohit Swami (English)
The Lord does not accept responsibility for any person’s sin or merit; they are deluded, for wisdom is submerged in ignorance within them.
