Translations
The Blessed Lord said, "O Arjuna, neither in this world nor in the next will there be destruction for him; none, indeed, who does good, O my son, ever comes to grief."
Lord Shri Krishna replied: My beloved child! There is no destruction for him, either in this world or the next. No evil fate awaits him who treads the path of righteousness.
The Blessed Lord said, "O Partha, there is certainly no ruin for him here or hereafter, for no one engaged in good meets with a deplorable end, my son!"
श्रीभगवान् बोले -- हे पृथानन्दन ! उसका न तो इस लोकमें और न परलोकमें ही विनाश होता है; क्योंकि हे प्यारे ! कल्याणकारी काम करनेवाला कोई भी मनुष्य दुर्गतिको प्राप्त नहीं जाता।Commentary
He who has not succeeded in attaining to perfection in Yoga in this birth will not be destroyed in this world or in the next world. Surely he will not take a birth lower than the present one. What will he attain, then? This is described by the Lord in verses 41, 42, 43 and 44. Tata: son. A disciple is regarded as a son.
