Sanskrit Commentary By Sri Ramanuja

।।9.9।।न च तानि विषमसृष्ट्यादीनि कर्माणि मां निबध्नन्ति मयि नैर्घृण्यादिकं न आपादयन्ति? यतः क्षेत्रज्ञानां पूर्वकृत्यानि एव कर्माणि देवादिविषमभावहेतवः अहं तु तत्र वैषम्ये असक्तः तत्र उदासीनवद् आसीनः। यथा आह सूत्रकारः -- वैषम्यनैर्घृण्ये न सापेक्षत्वात् (ब्र0 सू0 2।1।34) न कर्माविभागादिति चेन्नानादित्वात् (ब्र0 सू0 2।1।35) इति।

Hindi Translation By Swami Ramsukhdas

।।9.9।। हे धनञ्जय ! उन (सृष्टि-रचना आदि) कर्मोंमें अनासक्त और उदासीनकी तरह रहते हुए मेरेको वे कर्म नहीं बाँधते।

English Translation By Swami Adidevananda

9.9 But these actions do not bind Me, O Arjuna, for I remain detached from them like one unconcerned.

English Translation of Ramanuja's Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Adidevananda

9.9 But actions like uneal creation do not bind Me. There can be no imputation of cruelty etc., to Me, because the previous actions (Karmas) of individual selves are the causes for the ineality of conditions like that of gods etc. I am untouched by the ineality. I sit, as it were, apart from it as one unconcerned. Accordingly, the author of the Vedanta-sutras says: 'Not ineality and cruelty, on account of (creation) being dependent, for so scripture declares' (Br. Su., 2.1.34), and 'If it be said that there is no Karma on account of non-distinction, it is replied that it is not proper to say so, because it is beginningless ৷৷.' (Ibid., 2.1.35). [The idea is this: Creation has no first beginning. It is an eternal cyclic process of creation and dissolution of the universe. So the differentiation of Karma, Jiva and Isvara even before creation has to be accepted. Only in the creative cycle the differentiation becomes patent, and in the dissolved condition it remains latent.]

English Translation By Swami Gambirananda

9.9 O Dhananjaya (Arjuna), nor do those actions bind Me, remaining (as I do) like one unconcerned with, and unattached to, those actions.
