Anuvaad
"He Bharata! Jaise agyaani log karm mein aasakt hokar karm karte hain, waise hi gyaani vyakti, aasakti ke bina, lok-sangrah (lok-kalyaan) chaahte hue karm kare."
Bhaavaarth
Bahar ek jaisa, bheetar alag. Karm dekhne mein wahi; prerna alag — agyaani ke liye "asya karmaṇaḥ phalaṃ mama bhaviṣyati" (Shankara) — "is karm ka phal mujhe milega"; gyaani ke liye — lok ka hit.
Shankaracharya: vidvān ātmavit — aatma-gyaani; cikīrṣuḥ kartum icchuḥ loka-saṅgraham — lok-sangrah karne ki ichchha se. Aur nishkarsh: loka-saṅgrahaṃ muktvā — lok-sangrah ke siva aatma-gyaani ka koi kartavya nahin.
Aacharya Ramanuja — kaun "avidvān", kaun "vidvān"? Avidvāṃsaḥ = ātmani akṛtsna-vidaḥ — aatma ko poori tarah na jaanne wale, jo gyaan-yoga ke adhikaari nahin, karma-yoga ke adhikaari hain — ve aatma-darshan ke liye karma-yoga karte hain. Vidvān = aatma ko poori tarah jaanne wala, gyaan-yoga ke yogya bhi — par vyapadeśyaḥ śiṣṭaḥ — aadarsh maana jaane wala — lok-raksha ke liye, apne aacharan se shreshth logon ke dharma-nishchay ko sthaapit karne ki ichchha se, karma-yogam eva kuryāt — karma-yoga hi kare.
