Adhyāya 51: Kṛṣṇa’s Leave-Taking and Departure for Dvārakā (द्वारकागमनानुमति)
तस्मात् कर्मसु निःस्नेहा ये केचित् पारदर्शिन: । विद्यामयो<यं पुरुषो न तु कर्ममय: स्मृत:
tasmāt karmasu niḥsnehā ye kecit pāradarśinaḥ | vidyāmayo 'yaṃ puruṣo na tu karmamayaḥ smṛtaḥ ||
ヴァーユは言った。「ゆえに、真実を見抜く洞察の賢者は、行為に執着しない。なぜならこのプルシャ(自己)は、知(ヴィディヤー)を本性とし、業によって成るものではないと知られているからである。」
वायुदेव उवाच
The verse teaches non-attachment to action: the wise, who perceive reality clearly, do not cling to karma because the true self is essentially knowledge (consciousness), not something produced or defined by deeds.
Vāyudeva is instructing the listener in a reflective, philosophical mode, distinguishing the nature of the self from the realm of action and urging the standpoint of the discerning sages who act without attachment.
