nyayyam va viparitam va

pancaite tasya hetavah

 

WORD FOR WORD

 

sarira--by the body; vak--speech; manobhih--and mind; yat--which;

karma--work; prarabhate--begins; narah--a person; nyayyam--right;

va--or; viparitam--the opposite; va--or; panca--five; ete--all these;

TRANSLATION

 

Whatever right or wrong action a man performs by body, mind or speech

is caused by these five factors.

 

PURPORT

 

The words "right" and "wrong" are very significant in this verse.

Right work is work done in terms of the prescribed directions in the

scriptures, and wrong work is work done against the principles of the

scriptural injunctions. But whatever is done requires these five

factors for its complete performance.
