Translation

Swami Gambhīrānanda · follows Śaṅkara-bhāṣya

The divine nature is Liberation, while the demoniacal is considered to be an inevitable bondage. Do not grieve, O son of Pandu! You are destined to possess the divine nature.

हिन्दी अनुवाद — Swami Tejomayānanda

हे पाण्डव ! दैवी सम्पदा मोक्ष के लिए और आसुरी सम्पदा बन्धन के लिए मानी गयी है, तुम शोक मत करो, क्योंकि तुम दैवी सम्पदा को प्राप्त हुए हो।।

16.5What use is this classification?

“The divine disposition is deemed to lead to liberation, the demonic to bondage. Grieve not, Arjuna; you are born to the divine estate (daivīm sampadam abhijāto’si).” Here is the point of the whole taxonomy — and its warmth. It is not offered so that we may sort others into sheep and goats (that would itself be a demonic conceit); it is offered as a diagnostic mirror, so that each may recognise which tendencies bind and which free, and choose accordingly. And note the tenderness of the reassurance to Arjuna: do not despair at the terrible demonic catalogue, for your leaning is towards the light. The classification is a tool for self-cultivation, not for judgment of the neighbour.
