कर्मयोग–ज्ञानयज्ञ–अवतारोपदेश
Karma-Yoga, Jñāna-Yajña, and Avatāra Instruction
योगस्थ: कुरु कर्माणि सज्ुूं त्यक्त्वा धनंजय । सिद्धयसिद्धयो: समो भूत्वा समत्वं योग उच्यते,हे धनंजय! तू आसक्तिको त्यागकर तथा सिद्धि और असिद्धिमें समान बुद्धिवाला होकर योगमें स्थित हुआ कर्तव्यकर्मोंकी कर,“ समत्व ही योग कहलाता है
yogasthaḥ kuru karmāṇi saṅgaṃ tyaktvā dhanañjaya | siddhyasiddhyoḥ samo bhūtvā samatvaṃ yoga ucyate ||
Санджая сказал: Утвердившись в йоге, исполняй свой долг, о Дхананджая, оставив привязанность. Оставаясь равным в успехе и неуспехе, действуй — ибо это равновесие и зовётся йогой.

On the battlefield, Arjuna is being instructed to act according to kṣatriya-dharma without being driven by fear of loss or craving for victory; the focus is shifted from results to disciplined, ethically grounded action.
