CHAPTER 18
The Yog of Renunciation

श्रीभगवानुवाच
काम्यानां कर्मणां न्यासं सन्न्यासं कवयो विदु: ।
सर्वकर्मफलत्यागं प्राहुस्त्यागं विचक्षणा: ॥2॥

[ ‘‘The Lord said, ‘Whereas numerous scholars use renunciation for the giving up of covered deeds many others of mature judgement use relinquishment to name the abnegation of the fruits of all action.’’’ ]

त्याज्यं दोषवदित्येके कर्म प्राहुर्मनीषिण:।
यज्ञदानतप:कर्म न त्याज्यमिति चापरे ॥3॥

[ “While many erudite men insist that since all actions are vile they ought to be forsaken, other scholars proclaim that deeds such as yagya, charity, and penance ought not to be forsaken.’’ ]

After thus submitting varied opinions on the problem, the Yogeshwar advances his own definitive view.
