एवं ज्ञात्वा कृतं कर्म पूर्वैरपि मुमुक्षुभिः | कुरु कर्मैव तस्मात्त्वं पूर्वैः पूर्वतरं कृतम्
evaṃ jñātvā kṛtaṃ karma pūrvairapi mumukṣubhiḥ . kuru karmaiva tasmāttvaṃ pūrvaiḥ pūrvataraṃ kṛtam
如此了知後，甚至古代的解脫尋求者也履行了職責。因此，你應當執行行為，如同古人早先所為。
Having known thus, duties were performed even by the ancient seekers of Liberation. Thererfore you undertake action itself as was performed earlier by the ancient ones.
如此了知阿特曼（Atman）對行為的成果沒有渴望，也不會被其玷污；並了知若一個人工作時沒有我執、執著和對成果的期望，他也不會被玷污；因此，你應履行你的職責。如果你的心不純淨，則為其淨化而執行行為。如果你已獲得阿特曼智（AtmaJnana）或阿特曼（Atman）的知識，則為世界的福祉而工作。像遮那迦（Janaka）等古人在往昔也執行了行為。因此，你也應執行行為。
Knowing thus that the Self can have no desire for the fruits of actions and cannot be tainted by them? and knowing that no one can be tainted if he works without egoism? attachment and expectation of fruits? do thou perform your duty.If your heart is impure? perform actions for its purification. If you have attained AtmaJnana or the knowledge of the Self? work for the wellbeing of the world. The ancients such as Janaka and others performed actions in the days of yore. So do thou also perform action.
