ज्ञेय: स नित्यसंन्यासी यो न द्वेष्टि न काङ् क्षति |
निर्द्वन्द्वो हि महाबाहो सुखं बन्धात्प्रमुच्यते ||3||
निर्द्वन्द्वो हि महाबाहो सुखं बन्धात्प्रमुच्यते ||3||
One who neither hates nor desires is rightly understood to be always a renunciant. Being free from dualities, O mighty-armed Arjuna, one is easily liberated from bondage.
- Mahabaho: An epithet for Arjuna, meaning mighty-armed.
- Nitya-Sannyasi: One who is eternally renounced.
The idea of true renunciation is introduced—detachment from desires and aversions. Krishna advises Arjuna that liberation comes not from ceasing action but from conquering inner conflicts, a preparation for the deeper discourse on conquering the self.
