द्यूतं छलयतामस्मि तेजस्तेजस्विनामहम् । जयोऽस्मि व्यवसायोऽस्मि सत्त्वं सत्त्ववतामहम् ॥ ३६ ॥
dyūtaṁ chhalayatām asmi tejas tejasvinām aham jayo ’smi vyavasāyo ’smi sattvaṁ sattvavatām aham
Translation
Of the deceitful I am gambling; I am the splendour of the splendid. I am victory, I am determination, and I am the goodness of the good.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
मैं छल करने वालों में जुआ और प्रभावशाली पुरुषों का प्रभाव हूँ। मैं जीतने वालों का विजय हूँ, निश्चय करने वालों का निश्चय और सात्त्विक पुरुषों का सात्त्विक भाव हूँ।
Commentary
A surprising entry: "of cheats, I am gambling." In each category, even an unsavoury one, God is the most powerful instance — a reminder, perhaps pointed for Arjun, whose family lost everything in a game of dice.
