yāmimāṃ puṣpitāṃ vācaṃ pravadantyavipaścitaḥ . vedavādaratāḥ pārtha nānyadastīti vādinaḥ ||2-42||
।।2.42।। हे पार्थ अविवेकी पुरुष वेदवाद में रमते हुये जो यह पुष्पिता (दिखावटी शोभा की) वाणी बोलते हैं? इससे (स्वर्ग से) बढ़कर और कुछ नहीं है।।।
2.42 याम which? इमाम् this? पुष्पिताम् flowery? वाचम् speech? प्रवदन्ति utter? अविपश्चितः the unwise? वेदवादरताः takign pleasure in the eulogising words of the Vedas? पार्थ O Partha? न not? अन्यत् other? अस्ति is? इति thus? वादिनः saying.Commentary Unwise people who are lacking in discrimination lay great stress upon the Karma Kanda or the ritualistic portion of the Vedas? which lays down specific rules for specific actions for,the attainment of specific fruits and ectol these actions and reward
Non-dualism. The individual self and Brahman are one. The world is appearance (maya). Liberation through knowledge.
।।2.42।।जिनमें निश्चयात्मिका बुद्धि नहीं है वे इस आगे कही जानेवाली पुष्पित वृक्षोंजैसी शोभित सुननेमें ही रमणीय जिस वाणीको कहा करते हैँ। कौन कहा करते हैं अज्ञानी अर्थात् अल्पबुद्धिवाले अविवेकी जो कि बहुत अर्थवाद और फलसाधनोंको प्रकाश करनेवाले वेदवाक्योंमें रत हैं। तथा हे पार्थ जो ऐसे भी कहनेवाले हैं कि स्वर्गप्राप्ति आदि फलके साधनरूप कर्मोंसे अतिरिक्त अन्य कुछ है ही नहीं।

2.42-2.43 O son of Prtha, those undiscerning people who utter this flowery talk which promises birth as a result of rites and duties, and is full of various special rites meant for the attainment of enjoyment and affluence , they remain engrossed in the utterances of the Vedas and declare that nothing else exists; their minds are full of desires and they have heaven as the goal.
