Bhagavad Gita Chapter 16 Verse 15

भगवद् गीता अध्याय 16 श्लोक 15

आढ्योऽभिजनवानस्मि कोऽन्योऽस्ति सदृशो मया।
यक्ष्ये दास्यामि मोदिष्य इत्यज्ञानविमोहिताः।।16.15।।

English Translation - Swami Gambirananda

16.15 I am rich and high-born; who else is there similar to me? I shall perform sacrifices; I shall give, I shall rejoice,-thus they are diversely deluded by non-discrimination.

English Translation of Ramanuja's Sanskrit Commentary

16.15 I am rich by myself. Who else is there in this world like me gaining all glory with his own ability? I myself shall sacrifice, I shall give alms and I shall rejoice - thus they think deluded by ignorance, viz., deluded by ignorance that they are themselves capable of offering sacrifices, gifts etc., unaided by the grace of God.
