My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Having understood all this, the Yogin goes beyond whatever fruit of merit is ordained in the scriptures in case of reciting the Vedas, performing sacrifices, observing austerities, and donating gifts; and he goes to the Supreme Primeval Abode.

Shri Purohit Swami

The sage who knows this passes beyond all merit that comes from the study of the scriptures, from sacrifice, from austerities and charity, and reaches the Supreme Primeval Abode."

Swami Adidevananda

Whatever fruit of merit is prescribed for the study of the Vedas, for the performance of sacrifices, for the practice of austerities and gifts, all this does the Yogin transcend. Knowing this teaching of Mine, he reaches the supreme, primal abode.

Swami Gambirananda

Having known this, the yogi transcends all those results of righteous deeds that are declared with regard to the Vedas, sacrifices, austerities and also charities, and he reaches the primordial supreme State.

Swami Sivananda

Whatever fruits or merits is declared (in the scriptures) to accrue from (the study of) the Vedas, (the performance of) sacrifices, (the practice of) austerities, and (the offering of) gifts–beyond all these goes the Yogi, having known this; and he attains to the supreme primeval (first or ancient) Abode.

My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

The Bhagavat said, "To you, who are entertaining no displeasure, I shall clearly declare this most secret knowledge, together with action, by knowing which you shall be free from evil."

Shri Purohit Swami

"Lord Shri Krishna said: I will now reveal to thee, since thou doubtest not, that profound mysticism, which when followed by experience, shall liberate thee from sin.

Swami Adidevananda

The Lord said I shall declare to you, who does not cavil, this most mysterious knowledge together with special knowledge, knowing which you would be freed from evil.

Swami Gambirananda

The Blessed Lord said However, to you who are not given to cavilling I shall speak of this highest secret itself, which is Knowledge [Jnana may mean Brahman that is Consciousness, or Its knowledge gathered from the Vedas (paroksa-jnana). Vijnana is direct experience (aparoksa-jnana).] combined with experience, by realizing which you shall be free from evil.

Swami Sivananda

I shall now declare to thee who does not cavil, the greatest secret, the knowledge combined with experience (Self-realisation). Having known this, thou shalt be free from evil.
