Original Sanskrit · श्रीभगवान्
आढ्योऽभिजनवानस्मि कोऽन्योऽस्ति सदृशो मया
यक्ष्ये दास्यामि मोदिष्य इत्यज्ञानविमोहिताः
॥ 16.15 ॥
āḍhyo'bhijanavānasmi ko'nyo'sti sadṛśo mayā
yakṣye dāsyāmi modiṣya ityajñānavimohitāḥ
Translation
"I am wealthy, I am well-born — who else is equal to me? I will perform sacrifices, I will give charity, I will rejoice — so they say, deluded by ignorance."
Interpretation
Shankaracharya. abhijanavān saptapuruṣaṃ śrotriyatvādisaṃpannaḥ — from a family of Vedic scholars for seven generations; yāgenāpi anyān abhibhaviṣyāmi — I will put others down even through sacrifice.
Ramanujacharya. svata eva uttamakule prasūtaḥ asmi — I was born into a high family by my own doing; īśvarānugrahanirapekṣeṇa svena eva yāgadānādikaṃ kartuṃ śakyam iti.
