▸Bhagavadgītābhāṣyam
यस्मादेवं तस्मात्—
विहाय परित्यज्य कामान् यः संन्यासी पुमान् सर्वान् अशेषतः कार्त्स्न्येन चरति, जीवनमात्रचेष्टाशेषः पर्यटतीत्यर्थः । निःस्पृहः शरीरजीवनमात्रेऽपि निर्गता स्पृहा यस्य सः निःस्पृहः सन् , निर्ममः शरीरजीवनमात्राक्षिप्तपरिग्रहेऽपि ममेदम् इत्यपभिनिवेशवर्जितः, निरहङ्कारः विद्यावत्त्वादिनिमित्तात्मसम्भावनारहितः इत्येतत् । सः एवंभूतः स्थितप्रज्ञः ब्रह्मवित् शान्तिं सर्वसंसारदुःखोपरमलक्षणां निर्वाणाख्याम् अधिगच्छति प्राप्नोति ब्रह्मभूतो भवति इत्यर्थः ॥ ७१ ॥
In plain words
Because this is how it stands, therefore—
'Having abandoned all desires,' the renunciate lives completely free of them, with nothing left in him but the bare activity needed to keep the body going — that is what it means to wander like this. 'Free of longing' means: longing has gone out of him even with respect to bare bodily survival — that is what makes him truly free of longing. 'Free of "mine"-ness' means: even for whatever little he must hold onto just to keep the body alive, he carries no fixation of 'this is mine.' 'Free of ego' means: he carries no self-regard built on things like being learned, or anything else like it. That is what these words mean. A person like this — one of steady wisdom, a knower of Brahman — attains that peace called nirvāṇa, the cessation of all the suffering of saṃsāra; he reaches it, and simply becomes Brahman. That is the meaning.
Close to the Sanskrit
Since (it is) thus, therefore—
'Having abandoned,' relinquished, 'desires,' the renunciate, a man who moves about completely, without remainder, wholly [free of desires] — that is, one for whom only bare-survival activity remains wanders about: such is the meaning. 'Free of longing': in whom longing has gone out even regarding the mere sustaining of the body, he is 'free of longing,' being so. 'Free of "mine"-ness': even regarding whatever possessions bare bodily survival entails, devoid of the fixation 'this is mine' — 'free of ego-sense': devoid of self-regard caused by such things as possessing learning and the like — this is what is meant. He, being such, one of steady wisdom, a knower of Brahman, attains 'peace,' characterized by the cessation of all the suffering of transmigratory existence, called nirvāṇa; he reaches it, becomes Brahman: such is the meaning. [End of commentary on verse 71.]
▸Gītā Vāhini
సర్వ కామములనూ వదలి యెవ్వడు నిస్పృహుడై అహంకార మమకార రహితుడై సంచరించునో వాడే శాంతిని పొందును. స్థితప్రజ్ఞ లక్షణమును కామనాత్యాగ ప్రసంగముతో కృష్ణుడు ముగిస్తాడు. ఈ సాంఖ్యయోగము అద్వితీయమైనది. గీతా సారమంతా ఇందులోనే ఇమిడ్చబడినది.
In plain words
He who gives up all desires and moves about free from craving, free from Ahaṅkāra and mamakāra, he alone attains Śānti. Kṛṣṇa concludes the mark of the sthitaprajña with a discourse on the renunciation of desires. This Sāṅkhya Yoga is unrivalled. The whole essence of the Gītā is contained in it alone.
