Since they are called manīṣi (wise), the former interpretation is acceptable. By tyāga (renunciation) is meant abandonment of the fruits of actions. In the context of sacrifices and the like, this means that those who renounce the fruits of actions are called tyāgīs. Therefore only this view should be adopted.

Bhagavad Gita Bhashya (Sri Madhvacharya) 18.3 · Chapter 18 · Verse 3

।।18.3।।मनीषिण इत्युक्तत्वात्पूर्वपक्षोऽपि ग्राह्य एव। फलत्यागेन त्यागो विवक्षितः। यज्ञादेस्तत्पक्षे।यस्तु कर्मफलत्यागी [18।11] इति च वक्ष्यति। अत एक एवायं पक्षः।

Since he is called a manīṣi (a wise person), the earlier position is also acceptable. Tyāga (renunciation) is understood as the abandonment of the fruit. In the context of sacrifices and the like it is the position that those who renounce the fruits of actions are renouncers. Thus this one position alone is to be taken.

Bhagavad Gita Bhashya (Sri Madhvacharya) 18.4 · Chapter 18 · Verse 4

।।18.4।।तत्प्रकारं चाह -- निश्चयमित्यादिना। यज्ञभेद उक्तःद्रव्ययज्ञाः [4।28] इत्यादिना। दाने त्वभयदानमन्तर्भवति। एतेषां मध्ये यत्किञ्चिद्यज्ञादिकं कर्तव्यमेवेत्यर्थः। अन्यथाब्रह्मचारी गृहस्थो वा वानप्रस्थो यतिस्तथा। यदीच्छेन्मोक्षमास्थातुमुत्तमाश्रममाश्रयेत् इत्यादिव्यासस्मृतिविरोधः। ज्ञानयज्ञविद्याभयदानब्रह्मचर्यादितपसो हि ते। अतो यद्वचोऽन्यथाप्रतीयतेऽधिकारभेदेन तद्योज्यम्। अन्यथेतरेषां गत्यभावात्।

In the same way: “certainly” and so forth. The distinctions of sacrifices were stated (e.g. dravya-yajñas). Among gifts, for example, there is the giving of fearlessness. This means that whatever of these various acts is to be performed as a sacrifice, and so on. Otherwise, whether a brahmachārī, householder, or vanaprastha—if one desires to attain moksha one should adopt the highest āśrama and so on—this would contradict Smṛti. For sacrifices of knowledge, gifts of learning, giving of fearlessness, brahmacharya and austerities are indeed those (means). Therefore, when a statement is otherwise interpreted, it should be adjusted according to the difference of adhikāra (qualification), since other interpretations would lack applicability.

The substratum is the body etc. The doer is Vishnu — he is declared the cause of all actions; the jiva's non-doership is also proven. The instruments are the sense-organs. Chestas (efforts) and kriyas (actions) — from manual and other actions arise sacrificial acts, etc. Even mental practices like dhyana are caused as manasic chesta. Earlier efforts too function as causes by virtue of their samskara. There is also the unseen (daiva). Thus the received teaching says: ‘The body, Brahman, the organs, and actions — and the unseen, the fifth cause of action.’

Then is not a rule required independent of the person? Since non-doership (akartritva) is stated, it is said — ‘knowledge’. There are three kinds of exhortation to action; thus threefold is the rule directing action. The causes are concisely declared as ‘the cause’. A collection of causes of action and of agents. The substratum and other causes are included. Thus throughout the Rigveda: ‘Knowledge, the knowable, and the knower — a rule arises depending on these.’ Also: ‘Cause, agent, and the collection of causes of action.’ Even in non-doership, the fruit of action comes about through action by the Lord’s will and other cited causes. Under the Lord’s sovereignty also the rule is fixed by action. If desire etc. arise, then the action is caused by God; the result too is determined. In truth, even in non-doership there is an apparent doership due to ego. Independence is likewise attributed only with respect to inert matter — hence the apparent contradiction between rule and non-doership is resolved. All this is established by experience and valid proof; no separate proof is asserted.

Renunciation of dharma and renunciation of the fruits of action—how can these be different when it is the rule of battle? One who has renounced the fruit of action is called a tyāgī (one who renounces).

।।18.78।। पूर्णादोषमहाविष्णोर्गीतामाश्रित्य लेशतः। निरूपणं कृतं तेन प्रीयतां मे सदा विभुः।सङ्कराख्यस्य दुयोर्नेर्निस्सृतेन रजस्वला। गीतानारी समीरेण शोधिता हंसरूपिणा।।1।। मायिनः शलभायन्ते भास्करस्तस्करायते। यस्य तस्मिन्प्राणनाथे यतीन्द्रे भक्तिरस्तु मे।।2।।

Entirely free of fault, may the great Lord Vishnu take delight always in what I have composed on the Gita, even if only slightly. May he be pleased with my exposition, purified like a swan that cleansed the Gita in the breeze, and with the pair named Sankara—one divorced of passion, the other ruddy with vigor. The sun is obscured by the strokes of the maya-like moths; may devotion (bhakti) abide in that sovereign Lord of life, O ascetic ruler (Yatindra).
