B.G 2.62 and 63
dhyāyatō viṣayān puṁsaḥ saṅgastēṣūpajāyatē। saṅgāt sañjāyatē kāmaḥ kāmāt krōdhō'bhijāyatē॥62॥
krōdhādbhavati sammōhaḥ sammōhāt smr̥tivibhramaḥ। smr̥tibhraṁśād buddhināśō buddhināśāt praṇaśyati ॥63॥
When the person dwells on material topics, he develops attachment in them. From attachment springs desire. From that desire comes forth the anger. Anger results in the inability to discriminate. Loss of discrimination results in the distortion of memory. The distorted memory destroys the knowledge. He perishes from the destruction of knowledge.
Gīta Bhāshya 2.62 and 63
'sammōhaḥ' - desire to do the prohibited action. 'smr̥ti vibhramaḥ' - distortion of memory that aids one to resist doing prohibited action. 'buddhināśaḥ' - destruction of the knowledge that enables one to recognize defects fully. 'vinaśyati' - obtains hell.
rāgādidōṣakāraṇamāha parihārāya ślōkadvayēna। sammōhaḥ akāryēcchā। tathāhi mōhaśabdārtha uktaḥ upagītāsu
The defect that arises due to passion (rāga) and its solution is elaborated in these two verses. 'sammōhaḥ' means desire to do the prohibited action. Same meaning is given for the word 'mōha' in Upa-gīte:
"mōhasaṁjñitaṁ। adharmalakṣaṇaṁ caiva niyataṁ pāpakarmasu।"
iti।
'moha' is said to be of the characteristics of unrighteousness and is always fixed in sinful deeds.
-states thus.
tathā cānyatra-
Similar meaning is given in other places as well:
"sammōhōSdharmakāmitā"
iti।
'sammōha' is the desire for 'adharma', i.e. unrighteousness.
-states testimonial.
smr̥ti vibhramaḥ pratiṣēdhādibuddhināśaḥ। buddhināśaḥ sarvātmanā dōṣabuddhināśaḥ। vinaśyati narakādyanarthaṁ prāpnōti। tathāhyuktam
'smr̥ti vibhramaḥ' - means destruction of the knowledge that aids one to control and not to do prohibited action. 'buddhināśaḥ' - means destruction of the knowledge to recognize defects fully. 'vinaśyati' - means he obtains hell and such undesirables. Therefore it is said:
"adharmakāminaḥ śāstrē vismr̥tirjāyatē yadā। dōṣādr̥ṣṭēstatkr̥tēśca narakaṁ pratipadyatē॥"
iti ॥ 62, 63 ॥
When one desire unrighteousness, forgetfulness of the scriptures arises. Having lost the ability to recognize wrong, they obtain hell.
- states testimonial.
Gīta Tātparya 2.62 and 63
'saṁmōhā' - means wrong knowledge
saṁmōhāt mithyājñānāt । jñātamapi anyathā smaryatē vākyārthānāmanyathā smaraṇāt nirṇītaṁ jñānamapi naśyati ॥ 62,63 ॥
'saṁmōhāt' - means wrong knowledge, i.e. even after understanding thinking otherwise. Because of mind's attention on something else, knowledge to decipher the meaning of the sentence is lost.
