Verse 2.51
Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 2.51:
कर्म-जं बुद्धि-युक्ता हि फलं त्यक्त्वा मनीषिणः ।
जन्म-बन्ध-विनिर्मुक्ताः पदं गच्छन्त्य् अनामयम् ॥ ५१ ॥karma-jaṃ buddhi-yuktā hi phalaṃ tyaktvā manīṣiṇaḥ |
janma-bandha-vinirmuktāḥ padaṃ gacchanty anāmayam || 51 ||karma-jam–born of fruitive activities; buddhi-yuktāḥ–united with Bhagavān through buddhi-yoga, or selfless action; hi–because; phalam–results; tyaktvā–giving up; manīṣiṇaḥ–sages; janma-bandha–from the bondage of birth and death; vinirmuktāḥ–liberated; padam–the abode (of the Lord); gacchanti–they attain; anāmayam–without misery, Vaikuṇṭha.
Enlightened sages endowed with buddhi-yoga give up the results born of pious action (karma). Thus becoming freed from the cycle of birth and death, they eventually attain Vaikuṇṭha, the realm beyond all mundane miseries.
