Translation

Translation

Penance performed out of pride and for the sake of gaining respect, honor and worship is said to be in the mode of passion. It is neither stable nor permanent.

Austuse, lugupidamise ja kummardamise nimel ning uhkusest sooritatavad askeesid kuuluvad kire guṇasse. Sellised askeesid on ebapüsivad ja ajalikud.

Purport

Purport

Sometimes penance and austerity are executed to attract people and receive honor, respect and worship from others. Persons in the mode of passion arrange to be worshiped by subordinates and let them wash their feet and offer riches. Such arrangements artificially made by the performance of penances are considered to be in the mode of passion. The results are temporary; they can be continued for some time, but they are not permanent.

Vahel sooritatakse askeese teiste inimeste tähelepanu, austuse ja jumaldamise võitmiseks. Kire guṇas viibivad inimesed ihaldavad, et neile alluvad neid kummardaks, ning lasevad neil pesta oma jalgu ja ohverdada rikkusi. Selliseid askeeside sooritamise läbi kunstlikult omandatud saavutusi peetakse kire guṇasse kuuluvaiks. Sellised resultaadid on ajutised; nad võivad teatud aja vältel kesta, kuid mitte igavesti.
