त्रैगुण्यविषया वेदा निस्त्रैगुण्यो भवार्जुन । निर्द्वन्द्वो नित्यसत्त्वस्थो निर्योगक्षेम आत्मवान् ॥ ४५ ॥
trai-guṇya-viṣhayā vedā nistrai-guṇyo bhavārjuna nirdvandvo nitya-sattva-stho niryoga-kṣhema ātmavān
Translation
The Vedas deal with the three gunas; rise above the three gunas, O Arjun. Be free of the pairs of opposites, ever grounded in purity, free from concern for acquiring and keeping, and established in the self.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
वेद तीनों गुणों के विषयों का वर्णन करते हैं; हे अर्जुन! तुम तीनों गुणों से ऊपर उठो। द्वंद्वों से मुक्त, सदा सत्त्व में स्थित, योग-क्षेम की चिंता से रहित और आत्मवान बनो।
Commentary
The three gunas — sattva, rajas and tamas — are the qualities that make up the material world, and the ritual portions of the Vedas operate within them. Krishna asks Arjun to go beyond: to be nirdvandva (untouched by pairs like heat and cold, praise and blame) and free from the constant worry of getting and keeping (yoga-kṣhema).
