Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
जो त्याग नहीं करते, उन्हें मृत्यु के बाद तीन प्रकार के कर्मफल — अनिष्ट, इष्ट और मिश्र — प्राप्त होते हैं। किन्तु सन्न्यासियों को कभी नहीं।
English Translation
The threefold fruits of action — undesirable, desirable, and mixed — accrue after death for those who do not renounce, but never for true renouncers.
Commentary (टीका)
Those attached to results carry the karmic consequences — pleasant, unpleasant, or mixed — into future lives. True renouncers, having surrendered all claim to outcomes, are freed from karmic bondage. This verse provides a powerful incentive for practicing detachment from the fruits of action.
