दूरेण ह्यवरं कर्म बुद्धियोगाद्धनञ्जय।

बुद्धौ शरणमन्विच्छ कृपणाः फलहेतवः।।2.49।।
 

Hindi Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya's Sanskrit Commentary By Sri Harikrishnadas Goenka

।।2.49।।जो समत्वबुद्धिसे ईश्वराराधनार्थ किये जानेवाले कर्म हैं उनकी अपेक्षा ( सकाम कर्म निकृष्ट हैं यह दिखलाते हैं ) हे धनंजय बुद्धियोगकी अपेक्षा अर्थात् समत्वबुद्धिसे युक्त होकर किये जानेवाले कर्मोंकी अपेक्षा कर्मफल चाहनेवाले सकामी मनुष्योंद्वारा किये हुए कर्म जन्ममरण आदिके हेतु होनेके कारण अत्यन्त ही निकृष्ट हैं।
इसलिये तू योगविषयक बुद्धिमें या उसके परिपाकसे उत्पन्न होनेवाली सांख्यबुद्धिमें शरण आश्रय अर्थात् अभयप्राप्तिके हेतुको पानेकी इच्छा कर। अभिप्राय यह कि परमार्थज्ञानकी शरणमें जा।
क्योंकि फलतृष्णासे प्रेरित होकर सकाम कर्म करनेवाले कृपण हैं दीन हैं। श्रुतिमें भी कहा है

हे गार्गी जो इस अक्षर ब्रह्मको न जानकर इस लोकसे जाता है वह कृपण है।

English Translation of Ramanuja's Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Adidevananda

2.49 All other kinds of action are far inferior to those done with evenness of mind, which consists in the renunciation of the main result and with eanimity towards success or failure in respect of the secondary results. Between the two kinds of actions, the one with eanimity and the other with attachment, the former associated with eanimity removes all the sufferings of Samsara and leads to release which is the highest object of human existence. The latter type of actions, which is pursued with an eye on results, leads one to Samsara whose character is endless suffering. Thus when an act is being done, take refuge in Buddhi (evenness of mind). Refuge means abode. Live in that Buddhi, is the meaning. 'Miserable are they who act with a motive for results': it means, 'Those who act with attachment to the results, etc., are miserable, as they will continue in Samsara.'

English Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya's Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Gambirananda

2.49 Then again, O Dhananjaya, as against action performed with eanimity of mind for adoring God, karma, action undertaken by one longing for the results; is, hi, indeed; durena, ite, by far; avaram, inferior, very remote; buddhi-yogat, from the yoga of wisdom, from actions undertaken with eanimity of mind, because it (the former) is the cause of birth, death, etc. Since this is so, therefore, saranam anviccha, take resort to, seek shelter; buddhau, under wisdom, which relates to Yoga, or to the Conviction about Reality that arises from its (the former's) maturity and which is the cause of (achieving) fearlessness. The meaning is that you should resort to the knowledge of the supreme Goal, because those who under take inferior actions, phala-hetavah, who thirst for rewards, who are impelled by results; are krpanah, pitiable, according to the Sruti, 'He, O Gargi, who departs from this world without knowing this Immutable, is pitiable' (Br. 3.8.10).
