अर्जुन उवाच | संन्यासं कर्मणां कृष्ण पुनर्योगं च शंससि | यच्छ्रेय एतयोरेकं तन्मे ब्रूहि सुनिश्चितम्
arjuna uvāca . saṃnyāsaṃ karmaṇāṃ kṛṣṇa punaryogaṃ ca śaṃsasi . yacchreya etayorekaṃ tanme brūhi suniścitam
阿周那說:克里希納啊!您一方面讚揚捨棄業(Karma),另一方面又讚揚瑜伽(Yoga)。請您明確地告訴我,這兩者之中哪一個更好。
Arjuna said O Krsna, You praise renunciation of actions, and again, (Karma-) yoga. Tell me for certain that one which is better between these two.
您教導捨棄業(Karma),也教導履行業(Karma)。這讓我感到困惑。請您現在明確地告訴我哪一個更好。一個人不可能同時採取這兩種方式。這裡的「瑜伽」(Yoga)指的是「業瑜伽」(Karma Yoga)。(參見《薄伽梵歌》第三章第2節)
Thou teachest renunciation of actions and also their performance. This has confused me. Tell decisively now which is better. It is not possible for a man to resort to both of them at the same time. Yoga here means Karma Yoga. (Cf.III.2)
