“Actions do not bind the self-possessed one who has renounced action's hold through yoga and cut away doubt with knowledge, O Dhananjaya.”
— Original plain-language translation
Yoga and knowledge divide the labor: yoga renounces clinging in act, knowledge severs doubt in thought. Together they free the self-possessed (ātmavant — literally 'with a self'). The verse summarizes the chapter's double cure before the closing call.
