हिन्दी अनुवाद
हे महाबाहो संसारके आश्रयसे रहित और परमात्मप्राप्तिके मार्गमें मोहित अर्थात् विचलित इस तरह दोनों ओरसे भ्रष्ट हुआ साधक क्या छिन्नभिन्न बादलकी तरह नष्ट तो नहीं हो जाता ॥
English
O mighty-armed one, does a person who has fallen from both sides, like a torn cloud, perish without support, deluded on the path of the supreme reality?
श्लोक का अर्थ
Arjuna asks whether a person who fails in both worldly life and spiritual practice is lost completely, like a torn cloud blown apart.
संदर्भ और टिप्पणी
On the battlefield, Arjuna is already shaken by the thought of meditation and duty pulling in opposite directions. He asks Krishna whether someone who slips from both worldly support and the path to liberation simply disappears like a broken cloud. This keeps the question open for Krishna's answer.
