Giảng giải

This verse begins a three-verse sentence describing a certain kind of religious attitude. Krishna speaks of the unwise who utter flowery speech, delight in the words of the Veda taken narrowly, and claim there is nothing beyond them. The criticism is aimed at a mindset that treats ritual reward as the whole of religion, not at the Vedas themselves, which the Gita respects elsewhere. Readers from different traditions understand the target in different ways, but all see a warning against mistaking means for ends.
