Verse 2.419
Sanskrit text and transliteration:
यदि वेश्वरनिर्वृत्तं कार्यं सुकृतमुच्यते ।
निष्ठासंश्रवणात्साक्षान्न तु कर्तेश उच्यते ॥ ४१९ ॥
yadi veśvaranirvṛttaṃ kāryaṃ sukṛtamucyate |
niṣṭhāsaṃśravaṇātsākṣānna tu karteśa ucyate || 419 ||
English translation of verse 2.419:
Or, the act accomplished by Īśvara is said to be sukṛtam, that is, well done, because the suffix ta which denotes the object directly is used (here in the word sukṛta). It does not refer to the Lord who is the agent.
Notes:
In the previous verse the word sukṛtam was explained in the sense of sva-kṛtam. The same word is now explained in the sense of “well-done” (suṣṭhu-kṛtam). According to this explanation, the word sukṛtam does not refer to the Lord, but to the act of the Lord, which has been well-done.
