Sloka 18.24
18.24
यत्तु कामेप्सुना कर्म साहङ्कारेण वा पुनः ।
क्रियते बहुलायासं तद्राजसमुदाहृतम् ॥
యత్తు కామేప్సునా కర్మ సాహఙ్కారేణ వా పునః ।
క్రియతే బహులాయాసం తద్రాజసముదాహృతమ్ ॥
yattu kāmepsunā karma sāhaṅkāreṇa vā punaḥ |
kriyate bahulāyāsaṃ tadrājasamudāhṛtam ||
About chapter 18
The final chapter brings the whole teaching together. Krishna explains true renunciation as giving up attachment to the fruits of action, describes how the three qualities shape knowledge, action, intellect and happiness, and teaches that doing one’s own duty is worship. He gives his final instruction — to surrender to him alone (18.66) — and Arjuna, his doubts gone, rises to do his duty.
