Sanskrit Original
।।12.16।।सर्वारम्भपरित्यागी इत्यादेः सामान्यविशेषव्याख्यानव्याख्येयभावेनापुनरुक्तिः। हर्षादिभिर्मुक्त इत्युक्ते कादाचित्कमपि भवतीतियो न हृष्यति [12।17] इत्युक्तम्। उपचारपरिहारार्थं पूर्वम् आधिक्यज्ञानार्थं भक्त्यभ्यासः।ये तु सर्वाणि कर्माणि [12।6] इत्यादेः प्रपञ्च एषः।
The phrase 'one who has abandoned all undertakings' and similar expressions are not repeated here because the distinction between the general and the particular has already been explained. 'Freed from delights' is said: at any time no sense of excess occurs — 'he is not elated' [12.17]. To indicate remedies and their removal is primary; for increasing knowledge, devotional practice is recommended. The clause 'but those who perform all actions' [12.6] is a manifestly expansive treatment.
