Shloka of the day

Shloka of the day Monday, 6 July 2026

One Sanskrit verse a day from the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, the Vedas, subhashitas and well-known stotras, with transliteration and meaning. 132 verses in rotation.

Bhagavad Gita 3.8

नियतं कुरु कर्म त्वं कर्म ज्यायो ह्यकर्मणः ।niyataṃ kuru karma tvaṃ karma jyāyo hyakarmaṇaḥ |

शरीरयात्रापि च ते न प्रसिद्ध्येदकर्मणः ॥śarīrayātrāpi ca te na prasiddhyedakarmaṇaḥ ||

Meaning

Do your prescribed work, for action is better than inaction; without action even the maintenance of your body would not be possible.

अपना नियत कर्म करो, क्योंकि कर्म न करने से कर्म करना श्रेष्ठ है; कर्म के बिना तो शरीर का निर्वाह भी सम्भव नहीं।

The meaning is our own short paraphrase, not a word-for-word translation.
