अर्जुन उवाच | संन्यासस्य महाबाहो तत्त्वमिच्छामि वेदितुम् | त्यागस्य च हृषीकेश पृथक्केशिनिषूदन
arjuna uvāca . saṃnyāsasya mahābāho tattvamicchāmi veditum . tyāgasya ca hṛṣīkeśa pṛthakkeśiniṣūdana
阿周那说:哦,臂力强大的赫利希凯沙啊,哦,凯西(恶魔)的毁灭者啊,我希望分别了解僧尼亚萨(Sannyasa,弃绝)和提亚伽(Tyaga,舍弃)的真谛。
Arjuna said O mighty-armed Hrsikesa, O slayer of (the demon) Kesi, I want to know serverally the truth about sannyasa as also about tyaga.
《薄伽梵歌》的全部教义在此章中得到了精妙的总结。阿周那希望了解僧尼亚萨(Sannyasa)和提亚伽(Tyaga)这两个概念之间的区别。凯西(Kesi)是一个被克里希那神杀死的阿修罗,因此阿周那称克里希那为“凯西的毁灭者”。
The teaching of the whole of the GitaSastra is summed up beautifully in this discourse. This last discourse is a brief masterly summary of all that is told in the previous chapters. Arjuna wishes to know the distinction between Sannyasa and Tyaga.Kesi was an Asura whom Lord Krishna slew. So Lord Krishna is addressed as Kesinishudana by Arjuna.The words Sannyasa and Tyaga have been used here and there in the preceding discourses but their connotations are not lucidly distinguished. Therefore Lord Krishna clearly explains to Arjuna the right significance of the two terms in the following verse.
