CHAPTER 2 · VERSE 42
Bhagavad Gita 2.42
यामिमां पुष्पितां वाचं प्रवदन्त्यविपश्चितः। वेदवादरताः पार्थ नान्यदस्तीति वादिनः॥
The unwise, enamored by flowery words of the Vedas, advocate ritualistic practices solely for heavenly enjoyment, claiming there is nothing higher.
Criticizes superficial ritualism pursued purely for selfish material or celestial rewards.
