Hindi Translation By Swami Ramsukhdas

।।5.2।। श्रीभगवान् बोले -- संन्यास (सांख्ययोग) और कर्मयोग दोनों ही कल्याण करनेवाले हैं। परन्तु उन दोनोंमें भी कर्मसंन्यास- (सांख्ययोग-) से कर्मयोग श्रेष्ठ है।

English Translation By Swami Adidevananda

5.2 The Lord said Renunciation of actions and Karma Yoga, both lead to the highest excellence. But, of the two, Karma Yoga excels the renunciation of actions.

English Translation of Ramanuja's Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Adidevananda

5.2 The Lord said Even while granting that some persons are competent for the practice of Jnana Yoga exclusively, it has to be conceded that renunciation, i.e., Jnana Yoga, and Karma Yoga can be practised as independent of each other in the pursuit of the highest excellence. Still, of these two, Karma Yoga excels over the renunciation of actions, i.e., Jnana Yoga. Sri Krsna explains why this is so.

English Translation By Swami Gambirananda

5.2 The Blessed Lord said Both renunciation of actions and Karma-yoga lead to Liberation. Between the two, Karma-yoga, however, excels over renunciation of actions.
