kathaṁ sva-pitur ādeśam
kathaṁ sva-pitur ādeśam
avidvāṁso vipaścitaḥ
anurūpam avijñāya
aho sargaṁ kariṣyatha
How will you create, not knowing the instruction of your father who is knowledgeable, while not seeing these things?
Vipaścitaḥ means omniscient.

śrī-śuka uvāca
tan niśamyātha haryaśvā
autpattika-manīṣayā
vācaḥ kūṭaṁ tu devarṣeḥ
svayaṁ vimamṛśur dhiyā
Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: Hearing these enigmatic words of Nārada Muni, the Haryaśvas considered those words with their natural intelligence.
Vacaḥ kūtam means “words which appeared to have another meaning.”
|| 6.5.11 ||
bhūḥ kṣetraṁ jīva-saṁjñaṁ yad
anādi nija-bandhanam
adṛṣṭvā tasya nirvāṇaṁ
kim asat-karmabhir bhavet
Not seeing the end or destruction of the subtle body (which you called the earth) of the jīva, which causes bondage without beginning, what will be the result of performance of karma-yoga?
The ten items mentioned by Nārada are explained in ten verses to understand their meaning clearly. First there is an explanation of “not seeing the end of the earth.” Earth refers to the subtle body (jiva-samjñam), the cause of bondage without beginning for the soul. Nirvāṇam means destruction by knowledge. What can result from insubstantial karma-yoga? Rather you should strive to destroy karma.
|| 6.5.12 ||
eka eveśvaras turyo
bhagavān svāśrayaḥ paraḥ
tam adṛṣṭvābhavaṁ puṁsaḥ
kim asat-karmabhir bhavet
Not seeing or not worshipping the Supreme Lord who is the one person in the universe, who is beyond the states of waking, dreaming and deep sleep, and who releases the devotees from bondage, what is the use of insubstantial karma-yoga for man?
This verse explains “one kingdom with one person.” Turyaḥ refers to that fourth state different from waking (viśva), dreaming (taijasa) and deep sleep states (prājñā). The kingdom is the universe. Abhavam means the Lord by whom saṁsāra does not exist for the devotees. “Not seeing the Lord” means “not perceiving him through worship.” One should therefore worship him.
