Shloka of the day

Shloka of the day Monday, 29 June 2026

One Sanskrit verse a day from the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, the Vedas, subhashitas and well-known stotras, with transliteration and meaning. 132 verses in rotation.

Bhagavad Gita 3.37

काम एष क्रोध एष रजोगुणसमुद्भवः ।kāma eṣa krodha eṣa rajoguṇasamudbhavaḥ |

महाशनो महापाप्मा विद्ध्येनमिह वैरिणम् ॥mahāśano mahāpāpmā viddhyenamiha vairiṇam ||

Meaning

It is desire, it is anger, born of restlessness (rajas); insatiable and the source of great wrong. Know it to be the enemy here.

यह रजोगुण से उत्पन्न काम ही क्रोध है; यह कभी तृप्त नहीं होता और बड़ा पापी है। इसे ही यहाँ शत्रु जानो।

The meaning is our own short paraphrase, not a word-for-word translation.

Earlier verses
