मूल श्लोकः

अर्जुन उवाच

संन्यासं कर्मणां कृष्ण पुनर्योगं च शंससि।

यच्छ्रेय एतयोरेकं तन्मे ब्रूहि सुनिश्िचतम्।।5.1।।

English Commentary By Swami Sivananda

5.1 संन्यासम् renunciation, कर्मणाम् of actions, कृष्ण O Krishna, पुनः again, योगम् Yoga, च and, शंससि (Thou) praisest, यत् which, श्रेयः better, एतयोः of these two, एकम् one, तत् that, मे to me, ब्रूहि tell, सुनिश्चितम् conclusively.

Commentary:
Thou teachest renunciation of actions and also their performance. This has confused me. Tell decisively now which is better. It is not possible for a man to resort to both of them at the same time. Yoga here means Karma Yoga. (Cf.III.2)

English Translation By Swami Sivananda

5.1 Arjuna said Renunciation of actions, O Krishna, Thou praisest, and again Yoga. Tell me conclusively that which is the better of the two.
