Verse 2·42

The Vedic path leads to multiplicity and confusion

Verse

यामिमां पुष्पितां वाचं प्रवदन्त्यविपश्चितः ।वेदवादरताः पार्थ नान्यदस्तीति वादिनः ॥

yāmimāṃ puṣpitāṃ vācaṃ pravadantyavipaścitaḥvedavādaratāḥ pārtha nānyadastīti vādinaḥ

This flowery word which they declare who have not clear discernment, devoted to the creed of the Veda, whose creed is that there is nothing else, souls of desire, seekers of Paradise, – it gives the fruits of the works of birth, it is multifarious with specialities of rites, it is directed to enjoyment and lordship as its goal. The intelligence of those who are misled by that (flowery word), and cling to enjoyment and lordship, is not established in the self with concentrated fixity.
