FAQs
The verse contrasts external ritual action (yajña, japa) with inner completion (kṛtakṛtyatā). Once discernment and detachment are mature, ritual is no longer pursued as a means of worldly merit, but the remaining ‘action’ is oriented solely to steady abidance in Brahman—i.e., liberation rather than reward.
This passage is not primarily sarga/pratisarga/vaṃśa/manvantara/vaṃśānucarita material; it belongs to didactic-dharma and mokṣa instruction embedded in narrative (often treated under vaṃśānucarita-style storytelling, but functionally an upadeśa on nivṛtti).
‘Kṛtakṛtya’ indicates the inner sacrifice is complete: egoic striving is relinquished. Yajña and japa symbolize disciplined means; their culmination is silence/steadiness in Brahman (brahmabhāva), where the doer-sense dissolves.
