Knowledge and the Renunciation of Action
कर्मणो ह्यपि बोद्धव्यं बोद्धव्यं च विकर्मणः। अकर्मणश्च बोद्धव्यं गहना कर्मणो गतिः
karmaṇo hyapi boddhavyaṁ boddhavyaṁ cha vikarmaṇaḥ akarmaṇaśh cha boddhavyaṁ gahanā karmaṇo gatiḥ
It is necessary to consider what is right action, what is wrong action, and what is inaction, for the law of action is mysterious.
karmaṇaḥ—recommended action · hi—certainly · api—also · boddhavyam—should be known · boddhavyam—must understand · cha—and · vikarmaṇaḥ—forbidden action · akarmaṇaḥ—inaction · cha—and · boddhavyam—must understand · gahanā—profound · karmaṇaḥ—of action · gatiḥ—the true path
