అదయి ౩   శ్లోక  ౩౮

Chapter – 3 – Shloka – 38

Just as the smoke surrounds and covers a fire, just as dust surrounds and covers a mirror, and just as the amnion covers the embryo, similarly. Gyan or knowledge is covered and surrounded by one’s desires. O Arjuna.

जिस प्रकार धुएँ से अग्नि और मैल से दर्पण ढका जाता है तथा जिस प्रकार जेर से गर्भ ढका रहता है, वैसे ही उस काम के द्वारा यह ज्ञान ढका रहता है ।। ३८ ।।
