Karma Yogah - O son of Pritha, I have no duty in all three worlds, nor anything to gain or to attain, yet I continue to engage in action.
न मे पार्थास्ति कर्तव्यं त्रिषु लोकेषु किञ्चन |
नानवाप्तमवाप्तव्यं वर्त एव च कर्मणि ||22||

O son of Pritha, I have no duty in all three worlds, nor anything to gain or to attain, yet I continue to engage in action.

  • Kartavyaṁ: Duty or obligation.
  • Avāptavyaṁ: To be attained.
  • Varta: To exist or engage.

Krishna clarifies that, despite his supreme position, he performs duties to set an example. This exemplifies selfless leadership, where even the divine follows dharma to demonstrate the ideal of responsibility and adherence to duty.
