All chaptersChapter 16: Daivasura Sampad Vibhaga Yoga
Bhagavad Gita 16.24
Yoga through Discerning the Divine and Demoniac Natures
तस्माच्छास्त्रं प्रमाणं ते कार्याकार्यव्यवस्थितौ। ज्ञात्वा शास्त्रविधानोक्तं कर्म कर्तुमिहार्हसि
tasmāch chhāstraṁ pramāṇaṁ te kāryākārya-vyavasthitau jñātvā śhāstra-vidhānoktaṁ karma kartum ihārhasi
Therefore, let the scripture be thy authority in determining what ought to be done and what ought not to be done. Having known what is said in the ordinance of the scriptures, thou shouldst act in this world.
अतः तेरे लिये कर्तव्य-अकर्तव्यकी व्यवस्थामें शास्त्र ही प्रमाण है -- ऐसा जानकर तू इस लोकमें शास्त्र-विधिसे नियत कर्तव्य कर्म करनेयोग्य है।
