ध्यानयोगः — Dhyāna-Yoga
Discipline of Meditation and Mental Restraint
योगसंन्यस्तकर्माणं ज्ञानसंछिन्नसंशयम् । आत्मवन्तं न कर्माणि निबध्नन्ति धनंजय
yogasaṁnyastakarmāṇaṁ jñānasaṁchinnasaṁśayam | ātmavantaṁ na karmāṇi nibadhnanti dhanaṁjaya ||
ఓ ధనంజయా! యోగంలో కర్మలను సమర్పించినవాడు, జ్ఞానంతో సందేహాలు ఛేదించబడినవాడు, ఆత్మనిగ్రహం కలవాడు—అటువంటివాడిని కర్మలు బంధించవు.
