Sloka 18.3
18.3
त्याज्यं दोषवदित्येके कर्म प्राहुर्मनीषिणः ।
यज्ञदानतपःकर्म न त्याज्यमिति चापरे ॥
త్యాజ్యం దోషవదిత్యేకే కర్మ ప్రాహుర్మనీషిణః ।
యజ్ఞదానతపఃకర్మ న త్యాజ్యమితి చాపరే ॥
tyājyaṃ doṣavadityeke karma prāhurmanīṣiṇaḥ |
yajñadānatapaḥkarma na tyājyamiti cāpare ||
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.
