Sanskrit Original
।।18.49।।सर्वत्र फलादिषु असक्तबुद्धिः जितात्मा जितमनाः परमपुरुषकर्तृत्वानुसन्धानेन आत्मकर्तृत्वे विगतस्पृहः एवं त्यागाद् अनन्यत्वेन निर्णीतेन संन्यासेन युक्तः कर्म कुर्वन् परमां नैष्कर्म्यसिद्धिम् अधिगच्छति। परमां ध्याननिष्ठां ज्ञानयोगस्य अपि फलभूताम् अधिगच्छति इत्यर्थः। वक्ष्यमाणध्यानयोगावाप्तिं सर्वेन्द्रियकर्मोपरतिरूपाम् अधिगच्छति।
18.49 He whose understanding is, on all sides, without attachments, concerning fruits etc., whose 'self is conered,' i.e., who has conered his mind; who, by contemplating on the agency of the Supreme Person, is free from the habit of attributing agency to the self; and who is thus eipped with Sannyasa which has been positively determined to be the same as Tyaga - such a man, performing actions, attains supreme perfection which is free from all activities. The meaning is that he attains devotion to Dhyana which is the consummation of even Jnana Yoga; he attains Dhyana Yoga (Yoga of meditation) consisting in the complete cessation of sensory activity, which is going to be described hereafter.
