    श्रेयान्स्वधर्मो विगुणः परधर्मात्स्वनुष्ठितात्

    śhreyān — better

    Better your own work done imperfectly than another's done well. Better to die in your own work than to live in someone else's.

  2. 4.33

    श्रेयान्द्रव्यमयाद्यज्ञाज्ज्ञानयज्ञः परन्तप

    śhreyān — superior

    The offering of knowledge is better than the offering of possessions, Arjuna. All action, without exception, finds its end in knowledge.

    श्रेयान्स्वधर्मो विगुणः परधर्मात्स्वनुष्ठितात्

    Better your own work done imperfectly than another's done well. One who does the work born of their own nature takes on no fault.
