CHAPTER 8
Translation:-(27) O Partha ! no (Karma-) Yogin, who (essentially) understands these two srti-s (that is, paths) is overcome by
Ignorance ; therefore, O Arjuna ! become (Karma-) Yoga-yukta at all times. Description:- [it is clear that the man, who has understood the principle underlying these two paths, namely, the devayana and the pitryana, that is, who has understood that, by going by the devayana path, he does not incur re-birth, and that the pitryana path, though productive of heaven, is, yet, not productive of Release, will, of course, choose that path out of the two, which is truly beneficial to him ; and will not ignorantly follow the path, which is of a lower order ; and it is to convey this idea that the words, "one who (essentially) understands these two arfi-s, that is, paths" have been used in the former stanza. These stanzas mean that the Karma-Yogin understands which path, out of the devayana and the pitryana leads where; and that he, therefore, naturally goes along that path, which is the better one, and acquires Release, avoiding the trips to and from heaven ; and in the 27th stanza, the Blessed Lord has advised Arjuna to act accordingly.] Translation:-Thus ends the eighth chapter entitled AKSHARA-BRAHMA Yoga in the dialogue between Sri Krsna and Arjuna on the Yoga included in the Science of the Brahman, (that is, on the Karma- Yoga) in the Upanisad sung (that is, told) by the Blessed Lord.
