Translations by Teachers (आचार्यो द्वारा अनुवाद):
Swami Ramsukhdas (Hindi)
।।6.44।। वह (श्रीमानोंके घरमें जन्म लेनेवाला योगभ्रष्ट मनुष्य) भोगोंके परवश होता हुआ भी पूर्वजन्ममें किये हुए अभ्यास-(साधन-) के कारण ही परमात्माकी तरफ खिंच जाता है; क्योंकि योग-(समता-) का जिज्ञासु भी वेदोंमें कहे हुए सकाम कर्मोंका अतिक्रमण कर जाता है।
Swami Tejomayananda (Hindi)
।।6.44।। उसी पूर्वाभ्यास के कारण वह अवश हुआ योग की ओर आकर्षित होता है। योग का जो केवल जिज्ञासु है वह शब्दब्रह्म का अतिक्रमण करता है।।
Swami Adidevananda (English)
By the power of his earlier practice, he is carried forward even against his will. Even though he is an enquirer about Yoga, he transcends the Sabda-Brahman, i.e., Prakṛti or matter.
Swami Gambirananda (English)
For, by that very past practice, he is carried forward even in spite of himself! Even a seeker of Yoga transcends the results of the performance of Vedic rituals!
Swami Sivananda (English)
By that same former practice, he is borne on in spite of himself. Even he who merely wishes to know Yoga goes beyond the Brahmanic word.
Dr. S. Sankaranarayan (English)
Not being a master of himself, he is only dragged by that former practice (its mental impression); only a seeker of the knowledge of Yoga passes beyond what strengthens the [sacred] text.
Shri Purohit Swami (English)
Unconsciously, he will return to the practices of his old life; thus, one who strives to attain spiritual consciousness is certainly superior to one who merely talks about it.
