This chapter proceeds to set out, by way of summing up, the import of the entire Gttā-śastra, at. also the import of the Vedas, in its entirety. Indeed, the Teaching contained in all the preced ing chapters is comprehended in this Chapter. Arjuna, however, desiring to know merely the distinction in meaning between the words 'samnyāsa' (renunciation) and 'tyāga' (sacrifice), puts the question:

Arjuna uvāca-
Samnyāsasya mahābāho tattva-mlcchāmi veditum
Tyāgasya ca Hrsīkeśa prthak-Keśi-nisūdana

Arjuna said-

1. I desire to know severally, O mighty-armed, the truth of samnyāsa, as also of tyāga, O Hrsīkeśa, O slayer of Keśin!
