संन्यासत्य महाबाहो तत्त्वमिच्छामि वेदितुम् ।
त्यागस्य च हृषीकेश पृथक्केशिनिपूदन ॥ ६.४२.१ ॥
O mighty-armed one, I wish to know the truth of renunciation, and of abandonment, O Hṛṣīkeśa; explain them separately, O slayer of Keśin.
6.42.2
काम्यानां कर्मणां न्यासं संन्यासं कवयो विदुः ।
सर्वकर्मफलत्यागं प्राहुस्त्यागं विचक्षणाः ॥ ६.४२.२ ॥
The wise call the giving up of desire-driven actions renunciation; the discerning call the abandoning of the fruits of all actions abandonment.
6.42.3

यज्ञदानतपःकर्म न त्याज्यमिति चापरे ॥ ६.४२.३ ॥
Some wise men say that action is to be abandoned as faulty; others say that the acts of sacrifice, giving and austerity are not to be abandoned.

त्यागो हि पुरुषव्याघ्र त्रिविधः संप्रकीर्तितः ॥ ६.४२.४ ॥
Hear my firm conclusion on this abandonment, O best of the Bharatas. Abandonment, O tiger among men, is declared to be threefold.

यज्ञदानतपःकर्म न त्याज्यं कार्यमेव तत् ।
यज्ञो दानं तपश्चैव पावनानि मनीषिणाम् ॥ ६.४२.५ ॥
The acts of sacrifice, giving and austerity are not to be abandoned but must surely be done; for sacrifice, giving and austerity are the purifiers of the thoughtful.

कर्तव्यानीति मे पार्थ निश्चितं मतमुत्तमम् ॥ ६.४२.६ ॥
O son of Pṛthā, these actions too are to be done after abandoning attachment and their fruits; this is my firm and supreme opinion.
6.42.7
नियतस्य तु संन्यासः कर्मणो नोपपद्यते ।
मोहात्तस्य परित्यागस्तामसः परिकीर्तितः ॥ ६.४२.७ ॥
But the renunciation of a prescribed duty is not fitting; its abandonment out of delusion is declared to be of the nature of darkness.
6.42.8
दुःखमित्येव यत्कर्म कायक्लेशभयात्त्यजेत् ।
स कृत्वा राजसं त्यागं नैव त्यागफलं लभेत् ॥ ६.४२.८ ॥
He who abandons an action because he thinks it painful, from fear of bodily hardship, performs a renunciation of the nature of passion and does not obtain the fruit of renunciation.
6.42.9
कार्यमित्येव यत्कर्म नियतं क्रियतेऽर्जुन ।
सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा फलं चैव स त्यागः सात्विको मतः ॥ ६.४२.९ ॥
That renunciation which is held to be of the nature of goodness is that in which a prescribed action is performed, thinking 'it must be done,' O Arjuna, after abandoning attachment and its fruit.

त्यागी सत्त्वसमाविष्टो मेधावी छिन्नसंशयः ॥ ६.४२.१० ॥
He who neither hates unwholesome action nor clings to wholesome action, filled with goodness, wise and with doubts severed, is the renouncer.
6.42.11

यस्तु कर्मफलत्यागी स त्यागीत्यभिधीयते ॥ ६.४२.११ ॥
Indeed, it is not possible for an embodied being to abandon actions entirely; but he who renounces the fruit of action is called a renouncer.
6.42.12
अनिष्टमिष्टं मिश्रं च त्रिविधं कर्मणः फलम् ।
भवत्यत्यागिनीं प्रेत्य न तु संन्यासिनां क्वचित् ॥ ६.४२.१२ ॥
The fruit of action is threefold — undesirable, desirable and mixed; it befalls the non-renouncer after death, but never the renouncers.
6.42.13
पञ्चैतानि महाबाहो कारणानि निबोध मे ।
साङ्ख्ये कृतान्ते प्रोक्तानि सिद्धये सर्वकर्मणां ॥ ६.४२.१३ ॥

Since it is so, he who sees only himself as the agent, through immature understanding, that ill-minded one does not see.
6.42.17
यस्य नाहंकृतो भवो बुद्धिर्यस्य न लिप्यते ।
हत्वाऽपि स इमाँल्लोकान्न हन्ति न निबध्यते ॥ ६.४२.१७ ॥
He whose state is not born of ego, and whose intellect is not tainted — though he slays these worlds, he does not slay, nor is he bound.

प्रोच्यते गुणसंख्याने यथावच्छृणु तान्यपि ॥ ६.४२.१९ ॥

वेत्ति सर्वेषु भूतेषु तज्ज्ञानं विद्धि राजसम् ॥ ६.४२.२१ ॥

अतत्त्वार्थवदल्पं च तत्तासममुदाहृतम् ॥ ६.४२.२२ ॥

अफलप्रेप्सुना कर्म यत्तत्सात्विकमुच्यते ॥ ६.४२.२३ ॥
