अर्जुन उवाच । संन्यासं कर्मणां कृष्ण पुनर्योगं च शंससि । यच्छ्रेय एतयोरेकं तन्मे ब्रूहि सुनिश्चितम् ॥ १ ॥
arjuna uvācha sannyāsaṁ karmaṇāṁ kṛiṣhṇa punar yogaṁ cha śhansasi yach chhreya etayor ekaṁ tan me brūhi su-niśhchitam
Translation
Arjun said: O Krishna, you praise the renunciation of action, and then again the yoga of action. Tell me for certain which one of these two is better.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
अर्जुन बोले: हे कृष्ण! आप कर्मों के संन्यास की और फिर कर्मयोग की भी प्रशंसा करते हैं। इन दोनों में से जो एक निश्चित रूप से कल्याणकारी हो, वह मुझे बताइए।
Commentary
Arjun asks, for the second time, for a single clear answer (compare 3.2). Chapter 4 ended with praise of knowledge and renunciation, but also with "stand up and fight." He wants to know: renounce, or act?
