Shloka of the day Thursday, 2 July 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 2.14

मात्रास्पर्शास्तु कौन्तेय शीतोष्णसुखदुःखदाः ।mātrāsparśāstu kaunteya śītoṣṇasukhaduḥkhadāḥ |

आगमापायिनोऽनित्यास्तांस्तितिक्षस्व भारत ॥āgamāpāyino'nityāstāṃstitikṣasva bhārata ||

Meaning

Contact of the senses with their objects brings cold and heat, pleasure and pain. They come and go and do not last; learn to endure them.

इन्द्रियों और विषयों के संयोग से सर्दी-गर्मी, सुख-दुःख होते हैं। ये आते-जाते हैं, स्थायी नहीं हैं; इन्हें सहना सीखो।

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