Bhagavad Gītā (Kashmirian recension)18.47

18.47
श्रेयान्स्वधर्मो विगुणः परधर्मात्स्वनुष्ठितात् । स्वभावनियतं कर्म कुर्वन्नाप्नोति किल्विषम् ॥ १८-४७ ॥
śreyānsvadharmo viguṇaḥ paradharmātsvanuṣṭhitāt | svabhāvaniyataṃ karma kurvannāpnoti kilviṣam || 18-47 ||
— better is one's own duty, though imperfect ; — than another's duty well performed ; — the work fixed by one's own nature ; — doing, one incurs no fault

Better is one's own duty, though imperfect, than another's duty well performed; doing the work fixed by his own nature, a man incurs no fault.
