Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
दैवी सम्पदा मोक्ष के लिए और आसुरी सम्पदा बन्धन के लिए मानी गई है। हे पाण्डव! तुम शोक मत करो, तुम दैवी सम्पदा को प्राप्त हुए हो।
English Translation
The divine qualities lead to liberation and the demoniac qualities lead to bondage. Do not grieve, O Pandava, for you are born with divine nature.
Commentary (टीका)
Krishna reassures Arjuna that he possesses divine qualities. This verse serves as both a classification principle and personal encouragement. The distinction between divine and demoniac natures determines one's spiritual trajectory toward freedom or bondage.
