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
至尊主（Śrī Bhagavān）说：不执着于行动的果报，而履行其应尽之职责的人，他就是一位弃绝者（Sannyasi）和一位瑜伽士（Yogi）；而不是那些不生火（不举行火祭）或无所作为的人。
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.
像火祭（Agnihotra）等行为，若不期望其果报而行，便能净化心意，成为禅那瑜伽（Dhyana Yoga）或冥想瑜伽的途径。应尽之职责（Kāryam Karma）。无火（Niragniḥ）指那些放弃了日常火祭等仪轨的人。无所作为（Akriyaḥ）指那些放弃了苦行以及建造客栈、慈善诊所、挖井、济贫等善行的人。弃绝者（Sannyasi）指那些放弃了行为果报的人。瑜伽士（Yogi）指心意坚定的人。这两个词在此仅作引申义使用，并非指他们实际上就是真正的弃绝者和瑜伽士。弃绝者既不举行火祭，也不进行其他仪式。但仅仅省略这些，若无真正的弃绝之心，并不能使人成为真正的弃绝者。
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)
