ಮೂಲ & ಕಥೆ

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3, Verse 35 · Spoken by Lord Krishna to Arjuna; recorded by Sage Veda Vyasa in the Mahabharata (Bhishma Parva) · Ancient (part of the Mahabharata, traditionally dated to the Dvapara Yuga)

The third chapter of the Gita, Karma Yoga, the path of selfless action, addresses why and how one must act in the world. Arjuna had been tempted to renounce his duty as a warrior and withdraw from the battlefield, imagining a contemplative life to be higher. Krishna gives this verse to remind him that his own dharma, fighting a righteous battle, is the right path for him, and that to abandon it for another's path would be perilous and fearful.

✦ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ

Generations of seekers have found their life's direction in this verse, choosing the harder road of their own true calling over the easier comfort of imitation. It is said that those who hold firm to their svadharma, trusting Krishna's words, find that even apparent failure on their own path becomes a stepping-stone to liberation.

ಉತ್ತಮ ಸಮಯMorning, especially when facing important decisions about one's work, duty, or life path

Recite this verse in Sanskrit while reflecting on your own svadharma — your innate nature and rightful duty. It may be chanted 3, 11, or 21 times. Contemplate the assurance that following your own path, even imperfectly, leads to growth, while abandoning it to imitate others brings fear. Use it to steady the mind before acting on a difficult but rightful choice.

ಈ ಪುಟದಲ್ಲಿ ಪೂರ್ಣ श्रेयान्स्वधर्मो विगुणः ಕನ್ನಡ ಲಿಪಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಇದೆ — ಅವೇ ಮೂಲ ಶ್ಲೋಕಗಳು, ಅಕ್ಷರ-ಅಕ್ಷರ ಲಿಪ್ಯಂತರಗೊಂಡು, ನೀವು ಸುಲಭವಾಗಿ ಓದಿ ಪಠಿಸಬಹುದು. ಯಾವುದೇ ಸಾಲನ್ನು (ಅಥವಾ ▶ ಬಟನ್) ಒತ್ತಿ ಅದರ ಪಠಣ ಕೇಳಿ.

ಹೌದು — ಲಿಪಿ ಮಾತ್ರ ಬದಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ; ಪದಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಅವುಗಳ ಅರ್ಥ ಮೂಲವೇ. ಈ ಪುಟದ ಶ್ಲೋಕ-ಶ್ಲೋಕ ಅರ್ಥ, ಪ್ರಯೋಜನಗಳು, ಪಾರಾಯಣ ವಿಧಿ ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಅನ್ವಯಿಸುತ್ತವೆ.

It means 'Better is one's own duty, though imperfect, than the duty of another well performed. Better is death in one's own duty; another's duty is fraught with fear.' It is Krishna's teaching on svadharma in Bhagavad Gita 3.35.

Svadharma means 'one's own dharma' — the duty, role, and path that flow naturally from one's own nature and station in life. The Gita teaches that fulfilling one's svadharma, even imperfectly, is spiritually superior to abandoning it to take up someone else's duty.

Acting against one's own nature creates inner conflict, instability, and insecurity, because it is not rooted in who one truly is. Krishna calls this 'bhayavaha' (fearful) to warn that imitating another's path, however attractive, leads away from one's authentic growth.

Yes. A closely related teaching appears again in Bhagavad Gita 18.47, reaffirming that it is better to perform one's own duty imperfectly than another's duty well. This repetition underlines how central svadharma is to the Gita's message.
