तपस्विभ्योऽधिको योगी ज्ञानिभ्योऽपि मतोऽधिकः | कर्मिभ्यश्चाधिको योगी तस्माद्योगी भवार्जुन

瑜伽士（Yogin）超越苦行者，也被認為超越知識分子，瑜伽士（Yogin）也超越行動者。因此，阿周那（Arjuna）啊！你應當成為一名瑜伽士（Yogin）。
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.
黑天（Krishna）在此強調了瑜伽士（Yogin）的優越性。瑜伽士（Yogin）不僅超越了僅僅實行苦行的人，也超越了僅具備理論知識的學者，以及僅僅執行儀式性行動的人。這是因為真正的瑜伽士（Yogin）透過直接的體驗和無分別三摩地（Nirvikalpa Samadhi）獲得了真我（Atman）的直接知識，這比其他任何形式的靈性實踐都更為深刻和圓滿。
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)
