Bhagavad-gītā As it Is
<< 16 - The Divine and Demoniac Natures >>

<< VERSE 13-15 >>

इदम अद्य मया लब्धम इदं पराप्स्ये मनॊरथम
इदम अस्तीदम अपि मे भविष्यति पुनर धनम
असौ मया हतः शत्रुर हनिष्ये चापरान अपि
ईश्वरॊ ऽहम अहं भॊगी सिद्धॊ ऽहं बलवान सुखी
आढ्यॊ ऽभिजनवान अस्मि कॊ ऽनयॊ ऽसति सदृशॊ मया
यक्ष्ये दास्यामि मॊदिष्य इत्य अज्ञानविमॊहिताः

idam adya mayā labdham
imaṁ prāpsye manoratham
idam astīdam api me
bhaviṣyati punar dhanam
asau mayā hataḥ śatrur
haniṣye cāparān api
īśvaro ’ham ahaṁ bhogī
siddho ’haṁ balavān sukhī
āḍhyo ’bhijanavān asmi
ko ’nyo ’sti sadṛśo mayā
yakṣye dāsyāmi modiṣya
ity ajñāna-vimohitāḥ

TRANSLATION

The demoniac person thinks: “So much wealth do I have today, and I will gain more according to my schemes. So much is mine now, and it will increase in the future, more and more. He is my enemy, and I have killed him, and my other enemies will also be killed. I am the lord of everything. I am the enjoyer. I am perfect, powerful and happy. I am the richest man, surrounded by aristocratic relatives. There is none so powerful and happy as I am. I shall perform sacriﬁces, I shall give some charity, and thus I shall rejoice.” In this way, such persons are deluded by ignorance.
