अक्षरब्रह्मयोग (Akṣara-Brahma-Yoga) — Knowledge of the Imperishable, Prakṛti, and Devotion
युक्त: कर्मफलं त्यक्त्वा शान्तिमाप्रोति नैषप्ठिकीम् अयुक्त: कामकारेण फले सक्तो निबध्यते
yuktaḥ karmaphalaṁ tyaktvā śāntim āpnoti naiṣṭhikīm; ayuktaḥ kāmakāreṇa phale sakto nibadhyate.
युक्त (कर्मयोगी) कर्मफल का त्याग करके नैष्ठिकी शान्ति को प्राप्त होता है; और अयुक्त पुरुष कामना के वश से फल में आसक्त होकर बँध जाता है।
