॥ 3.9 ॥

tadarthaṃ karma kaunteya muktasaṅgaḥ samācara
Anuvaad
"Yajña ke liye kiye gaye karm ke alaava (doosre) karm se yeh lok bandhan mein padta hai. Isliye he Kaunteya, aasakti chhod kar usi (yajña) ke liye karm bhali-bhaanti karo."
Bhaavaarth
Do prakaar ke karm. (1) Yajñārtha — yajña/Ishvara ke liye; (2) anyatra — apne swaarth ke liye. Doosra baandhta hai; pehla nahin — shart: mukta-saṅgaḥ, aasakti chhod kar.
Shankaracharya: yajña = Ishvara; Ishvara ke liye kiya gaya karm bandhan nahin. Doosre karm se lok karma-bandhana hota hai. Mukta-saṅgaḥ = karma-phala-saṅga-varjitaḥ — karm-phal ki aasakti se rahit.
Aacharya Ramanuja: yajña aadi ke liye kiya gaya kaam (jaise dhan kamaana) nahin baandhta; ātmīya-prayojana-śeṣa-bhūte karmaṇi — sirf apne prayojan ke liye kiya kaam baandhta hai. Aur phal: aise mukta-sang yajña se ārādhitaḥ parama-puruṣaḥ — aaraadhit Param Purush (Bhagavan) anaadi karm-vaasana ko kaat kar avyākula-ātmāvalokanaṃ dadāti — shaant aatma-darshan dete hain.
