Commentary:
Actions such as Agnihotra, etc., performed without the expectation of their fruits purify the mind and become the means to Dhyana Yoga or the Yoga of Meditation.Karyam Karma: bounden duty.Niragnih: without fire. He who has renounced the daily rituals like Agnihotra, which are performed with the help of fire.Akriya: without action. He who has renounced austerities and other meritorious acts like building rest-houses, charitable dispensaries, digging wells, feeding the poor, etc.Sannyasi: he who has renounced the fruits of his actions.Yogi: he who has a steady mind. These two terms are applied to him in a secondary sense only. They are not used to denote that he is in reality a Sannyasi and a Yogi.The Sannyasi performs neither Agnihotra nor other ceremonies. ut simply to omit these without genuine renunciation will not make one a real Sannyasi. (Cf.V.3)
