तपस्विभ्योऽधिको योगी ज्ञानिभ्योऽपि मतोऽधिकः | कर्मिभ्यश्चाधिको योगी तस्माद्योगी भवार्जुन

瑜伽士超越苦行者，甚至被认为超越智者。瑜伽士也超越行动者。因此，阿周那啊，你当成为一名瑜伽士。
A yogi is higher than men of austerity; he is considered higher even than men of knowledge. The yogi is also higher than men of action. Therefore, O Arjuna, do you become a yogi.
奎师那（Krishna）在此强调了瑜伽士的至高地位，认为他们超越了仅仅进行苦行、拥有理论知识或执行仪式的人，因为瑜伽士通过直接体验达到了对自我的认知。
Tapasvi One who observes the austerities of speech? mind and body prescribed in chapter XVII. 14? 15 and 16.Jnani One who has a knowledge of the scriptures (an indirect knowledge or theoretical knowledge of the Self).Karmi He who performs the Vedic rituals.To all these the Yogi is superior? for he has the direct knowledge of the Self through intuition or direct cognition through Nirvikalpa Samadhi. (Cf.V.2XII.12XIII.24)
