除了為神而行的行動之外，世人會被其他行動所束縛。貢蒂之子啊！你應當無執著地為祂而行動。
This man becomes bound by actions other than that action meant for God. Without being attached, O son of Kunti, you perform actions for Him.
亞吉那（Yajna）意指祭祀、宗教儀式，或任何出於純粹動機的無私行動。它也指伊什瓦拉（Isvara，主）。《泰帝利耶本集》（Taittiriya Samhita，吠陀經的一部分）說：「亞吉那確實是毗濕奴（Vishnu）。」如果一個人為了主而行動，他就不會被束縛。他的心靈會因為了主而行動得到淨化。如果行動不受這種無私精神的引導，無論它多麼美好或光榮，都會將人束縛於輪迴（Samsara）。（參見第二章第48節）。
Yajna means sacrifice or religious rite or any unselfish action done with a pure motive. It means also Isvara. The Taittiriya Samhita (of the Veda) says Yajna verily is Vishnu (174). If anyone does actions for the sake of the Lord? he is not bound. His heart is purified by performing actions for the sake of the Lord. Where this spirit of unselfishness does not govern the action? it will bind one to Samsara however good or glorious it may be. (Cf.II.48).
