कार्यमित्येव यत्कर्म नियतं क्रियतेऽर्जुन ।
सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा फलं चैव स त्यागः सात्त्विको मतः ॥
सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा फलं चैव स त्यागः सात्त्विको मतः ॥
हिन्दी अनुवाद
हे अर्जुन केवल कर्तव्यमात्र करना है ऐसा समझकर जो नियत कर्म आसक्ति और फलका त्याग करके किया जाता है, वही सात्त्विक त्याग माना गया है ॥

Fixed duty becomes pure renunciation when it is done without attachment to personal gain or to the result.
संदर्भ और टिप्पणी
On the battlefield of Kurukshetra, Arjuna is still caught between action and withdrawal. Krishna now refines renunciation: not abandoning duty, but doing the required work with no grasping for reward. That is the cleanest form of letting go.
