बुद्धियोग(समता) की अपेक्षा सकामकर्म दूरसे (अत्यन्त) ही निकृष्ट है। अतः हे धनञ्जय तू बुद्धि (समता) का आश्रय ले क्योंकि फलके हेतु बननेवाले अत्यन्त दीन हैं।

Seek refuge in divine knowledge and insight, O Arjun, and discard reward-seeking actions that are certainly inferior to works performed with the intellect established in Divine knowledge. Miserly are those who seek to enjoy the fruits of their works.
