श्रीभगवानुवाच | संन्यासः कर्मयोगश्च निःश्रेयसकरावुभौ | तयोस्तु कर्मसंन्यासात्कर्मयोगो विशिष्यते
śrībhagavānuvāca . saṃnyāsaḥ karmayogaśca niḥśreyasakarāvubhau . tayostu karmasaṃnyāsātkarmayogo viśiṣyate
至尊主說：捨棄業（Karma）與業瑜伽（Karma-yoga）兩者皆能導向解脫。然而，在這兩者之中，業瑜伽（Karma-yoga）優於捨棄業（Karma）。
The Blessed Lord said Both renunciation of actions and Karma-yoga lead to Liberation. Between the two, Karma-yoga, however, excels over renunciation of actions.
「捨棄」（Sannyasa，即捨棄行動）和「業瑜伽」（Karma Yoga，即履行行動）兩者皆能導向「解脫」（Moksha）或至高無上的喜樂。儘管兩者皆能導向「解脫」（Moksha），但在這兩種證得「解脫」（Moksha）的方式中，「業瑜伽」（Karma Yoga）優於僅僅沒有「自性」（Atman）知識的「業捨棄」（Karma Sannyasa，即捨棄行動）。然而，伴隨「自性」（Atman）知識的「業捨棄」顯然優於「業瑜伽」。此外，「業瑜伽」較為容易，因此適合所有人。(參見《薄伽梵歌》第三章第3節，第五章第5節，第六章第46節)
Sannyasa (renunciation of action) and Karma Yoga (performance of action) both lead to Moksha or liberation or the highest bliss. Though both lead to Moksha? yet of the two means of attaining to Moksha? Karma Yoga is better than mere Karma Sannyasa (renunciation of action) without the knowledge of the Self.But renunciation of actions with the knowledge of the Self is decidedly superior to Karma Yoga.Moreover? Karma Yoga is easy and is therefore suitable to all. (Cf.III.3V.5VI.46)
