Original Sanskrit · श्रीभगवान्
न हि देहभृता शक्यं त्यक्तुं कर्माण्यशेषतः
यस्तु कर्मफलत्यागी स त्यागीत्यभिधीयते
॥ 18.11 ॥
na hi dehabhṛtā śakyaṃ tyaktuṃ karmāṇyaśeṣataḥ
yastu karmaphalatyāgī sa tyāgītyabhidhīyate
Translation
"It is not possible for an embodied being to give up actions completely; but one who gives up the fruit of action — that person alone is called a relinquisher."
Interpretation
Shankaracharya. dehātmābhimānavān dehabhṛt ucyate — dehabhrit = one who takes the body to be the Self; na vivekī.
Acharya Ramanuja. dehadhāraṇārthānām aśanapānādīnāṃ — actions for maintaining the body, such as eating and drinking, are unavoidable.
