Verse 3.16
एवं प्रवर्तितं चक्रं नानुवर्तयतीह यः । अघायुरिन्द्रियारामो मोघं पार्थ स जीवति ॥ ३.१६ ॥
हे पार्थ! जो पुरुष इस लोकमें इस प्रकार परम्परासे प्रचलित सृष्टिचक्रके अनुकूल नहीं बरतता अर्थात् अपने कर्तव्यका पालन नहीं करता, वह इन्द्रियों के द्वारा भोगोंमें रमण करनेवाला पापायु पुरुष व्यर्थ ही जीता है|
The Blessed Lord said: O Arjuna, he who does not follow the proper course of creation such as that I have just described, but centres his life around the enjoyment of luxuries, this sinful person, in my eyes, leads a useless life. He shall never fully understand and realize me.
