Translation:- The Blessed Lord said : — (40) O Partha ! such a man does not come to grief, whether in this world or in the next ; because, my friend, no man, who performs beneficial Actions, ever reaches an unhappy end.

(41) This Yoga-bhrasta (that is, this man, who has fallen from the Path of Karma-Yoga), takes (re-) birth in the family of pure-minded rich people, after reaching the spheres (like heaven, etc.), which are attained by people, who perform good Actions, and (after) having remained there for many years;
(42) or, he is born in the family of intelligent (Karma-) Yogins ; such (re-) births are very rare in (this) world. (43) The spiritual impressions acquired in the previous births, come to him again here (that is, in the birth which he has thus acquired) ; and, O Kurunandana ! he attempts to acquire success (in Yoga), -which is 'bhuyah'[1].
(44) As a result of that practice, made by him in the previous births, he is necessarily (that is, though he may not wish it) drawn (towards complete siddhi). He, who has experienced the jijnasa (that is, the desire to possess the knowledge) of (Karma-) Yoga, such a man also goes beyond the sabda-brahma[2].
(45) Becoming absolved of sin, while (thus) practising industriously, the (Karma-) Yogin, acquires success, after many births, and reaches a most superior state.
