bhavati

उत्सन्नकुलधर्माणां मनुष्याणां जनार्दन

bhavati — is

And for those whose family traditions have been destroyed, Krishna, we have heard from the wise that dwelling in hell is unending.

क्रोधाद्भवति संमोहः संमोहात्स्मृतिविभ्रमः

bhavati — comes

From anger, confusion. From confusion, memory fails. When memory fails, discernment is lost — and when discernment is lost, a person is lost.

अन्नाद्भवन्ति भूतानि पर्जन्यादन्नसम्भवः

bhavanti — subsist

Beings live on food; food comes from rain; rain comes from sacrifice; and sacrifice arises from action.

यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत

bhavati — is

Whenever what is right declines and what is wrong rises up, then I bring myself forth.

काङ्क्षन्तः कर्मणां सिद्धिं यजन्त इह देवताः

bhavati — manifest

Those who want their undertakings to succeed make offerings to the gods, and success in the human world comes to them quickly.

यं संन्यासमिति प्राहुर्योगं तं विद्धि पाण्डव

bhavati — becomes

Know that what they call renunciation is yoga, son of Pandu. No one becomes a practitioner without giving up the intention behind the act.

युक्ताहारविहारस्य युक्तचेष्टस्य कर्मसु

bhavati — becomes

For one moderate in eating and rest, balanced in work, measured in sleep and waking — yoga becomes the slayer of sorrow.

अथवा योगिनामेव कुले भवति धीमताम्

bhavati — take birth

or else is born into a family of those who practise and are wise. That birth is harder still to come by in this world.

अन्तवत्तु फलं तेषां तद्भवत्यल्पमेधसाम्

bhavati — is

But the fruit they gain has an end, for their understanding is small. Worshippers of the gods go to the gods; those devoted to me come to me.

क्षिप्रं भवति धर्मात्मा शश्वच्छान्तिं निगच्छति

bhavati — become

Such a person quickly becomes upright and reaches lasting peace. Be certain of this, son of Kunti: one devoted to me is never lost.

मम योनिर्महद्ब्रह्म तस्मिन् गर्भं दधाम्यहम्

bhavati — becomes

My womb is the great nature; in it I place the seed, and from that comes the birth of all beings, Arjuna.

रजस्तमश्चाभिभूय सत्त्वं भवति भारत

bhavati — becomes

Clarity rises when restlessness and inertia are overcome; restlessness when clarity and inertia are; and inertia when clarity and restlessness are.

कैर्लिंगैस्त्रीन्गुणानेतानतीतो भवति प्रभो

bhavati — is

By what signs is one known who has gone beyond these three strands, lord? How does such a person behave, and how do they pass beyond them?

त्रिविधा भवति श्रद्धा देहिनां सा स्वभावजा

bhavati — is

The faith of the embodied is of three kinds, arising from their own nature: of clarity, of restlessness and of inertia. Hear of them.

सत्त्वानुरूपा सर्वस्य श्रद्धा भवति भारत

bhavati — is

Everyone's faith accords with their nature, Arjuna. A person is made of their faith: as their faith is, so are they.

आहारस्त्वपि सर्वस्य त्रिविधो भवति प्रियः

bhavati — is

Even the food each person likes is of three kinds — and so are offering, austerity and giving. Hear how they differ.

अनिष्टमिष्टं मिश्रं च त्रिविधं कर्मणः फलम्

bhavati — accrue

For those who do not let go, the fruit of action is threefold — unwelcome, welcome and mixed. For those who renounce, there is none.
