Evam pravartitam chakram - Selected Verses of Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 03, Verse 16

'Selected Verses of Bhagavad Gita' recounts only selected verses of The Gita, which Krishna has said as it is. If you are pressed against time to go through around 700 verses of Bahgavad Gita, then this is the right place for you. This collection of verses is brought to you after years of listening to Bhagavad Gita from different sources. There is a separate post for complete list of verses.

Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 03, Verse 16
English:
Evam pravartitam chakram naanuvartayateeha yah
Aghaayur indriyaaraamo mogham paartha sa jeevati
Sanskrit: 
एवं प्रवर्तितम् चक्रम् नानुवर्तयतीह यः
अधायुरिन्द्रियारामो मोघम् पार्थ स जीवाति
Oriya: 
ଏବଂ ପ୍ରବର୍ତିତମ୍ ଚକ୍ରମ୍ ନାନୁବର୍ତୟତୀହ ୟଃ
ଅଧାୟୁରିନ୍ଦ୍ରିୟାରାମୋ ମୋଘମ୍ ପାର୍ଥ ସ ଜୀବତି

Selected word meaning:
evam - thus prescribed, pravartitam - established by the Vedas, chakram - cycle (of life set revolving by the Lord Bramha or Vedic scriptures), na - does not, anuvartayati - adopt, iha - in this life, yah - one who, agha aayuh - living in sin, indriya aaraamah - satisfied in sense gratification, mogham - useless, partha - O son of Prtha (Arjuna), sah - one who does so, jivati - lives

Translation:
O Arjuna, one who in this world does not adopt the cycle of life thus set revolving (by the Lord Bramha or Vedic scriptures), remains engaged in sense gratification, lives a useless and sinful life.
