Bhagavad Gita 6.38

कच्चिन्नोभयविभ्रष्टश्छिन्नाभ्रमिव नश्यति।अप्रतिष्ठो महाबाहो विमूढो ब्रह्मणः पथि॥

kaccinnobhayavibhraṣṭaśchinnābhramiva naśyati |apratiṣṭho mahābāho vimūḍho brahmaṇaḥ pathi ||

Fallen from both, does he not perish like a rent cloud, supportless, O mighty-armed one, deluded on the path of Brahman?

Having failed in both, my Lord, is he without hope, like a riven cloud with no support, lost on the spiritual path?

Our plain-language meaning of this verse is waiting for scholar review.
