श्रीभगवानुवाच | अनाश्रितः कर्मफलं कार्यं कर्म करोति यः | स संन्यासी च योगी च न निरग्निर्न चाक्रियः
śrībhagavānuvāca . anāśritaḥ karmaphalaṃ kāryaṃ karma karoti yaḥ . sa saṃnyāsī ca yogī ca na niragnirna cākriyaḥ
ಶ್ರೀ ಭಗವಂತನು ಹೇಳಿದನು: ಯಾರು ಕರ್ಮಫಲವನ್ನು ಆಶ್ರಯಿಸದೆ, ಮಾಡಬೇಕಾದ ಕರ್ಮವನ್ನು ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾನೋ, ಅವನು ಸನ್ಯಾಸಿಯೂ ಹೌದು, ಯೋಗಿಯೂ ಹೌದು; ಅಗ್ನಿಯನ್ನು ತ್ಯಜಿಸಿದವನಾಗಲೀ, ಕರ್ಮರಹಿತನಾಗಲೀ ಅಲ್ಲ.
The Blessed Lord said He who performs an action which is his duty, without depending on the result of action, he is a monk and a yogi; (but) not (so in) he who does not keep a fire and is actionless.
ಕರ್ಮಫಲದ ಆಸೆಯಿಲ್ಲದೆ ತನ್ನ ಕರ್ತವ್ಯವನ್ನು ನಿರ್ವಹಿಸುವವನೇ ನಿಜವಾದ ಸನ್ಯಾಸಿ ಮತ್ತು ಯೋಗಿ. ಕೇವಲ ಅಗ್ನಿಹೋತ್ರಾದಿ ಕರ್ಮಗಳನ್ನು ತ್ಯಜಿಸುವುದರಿಂದ ಅಥವಾ ಯಾವುದೇ ಕ್ರಿಯೆಯನ್ನು ಮಾಡದೆ ಇರುವುದರಿಂದ ಸನ್ಯಾಸಿಯಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.
Actions such as Agnihotra? etc.? performed without the expectation of their fruits purify the mind and become the means to Dhyana Yoga or the Yoga of Meditation.Karyam Karma bounden duty.Niragnih without fire. He who has renounced the daily rituals like Agnihotra? which are performed with the help of fire.Akriya without action. He who has renounced austerities and other meritorious acts like building resthouses? charitable dispensaries? digging wells? feeding the poor? etc.Sannyasi he who has renounced the fruits of his actions.Yogi he who has a steady mind. These two terms are applied to him in a secondary sense only. They are not used to denote that he is in reality a Sannyasi and a Yogi.The Sannyasi performs neither Agnihotra nor other ceremonies. But simply to omit these without genuine renunciation will not make one a real Sannyasi. (Cf.V.3)
