Translation

Whatever right or wrong action a man performs by body, mind or speech is caused by these five factors.

Enhver korrekt eller forkert handling, som et menneske gør med sin krop, sit sind eller sin tale, er forårsaget af disse fem faktorer.

Purport

The words “right” and “wrong” are very significant in this verse. Right work is work done in terms of the prescribed directions in the scriptures, and wrong work is work done against the principles of the scriptural injunctions. But whatever is done requires these five factors for its complete performance.

FORKLARING: I dette vers er ordene “korrekt” og “forkert” meget betydningsfulde. En korrekt handling er en handling, der gøres i overensstemmelse med skrifternes foreskrevne retningslinjer, og en forkert handling er en handling, der går imod de skriftlige anvisningers principper. Men uanset hvad der bliver gjort, kræver det disse fem faktorer for at blive fuldført.
