वीर O heroic one, धर्मज्ञाः men wellversed in ethics, श्रुतिमन्तः learned men, छिन्नधर्मार्थसंशयाः those free from doubts about dharma and artha, यतयः अपि even ascetics, शोकसम्मूढचेतसः with their senses overwhelmed with grief, मुह्यन्ति are deluded.

O heroic one even learned ascetics who are well versed in ethics and scriptures and who are free from doubts with regard to dharma and artha, are deluded by grief.
