BHAGAVAD-GITA 18:4

 

niscayam srnu me tatra

tyage bharata-sattama

tyago hi purusa-vyaghra

tri-vidhah samprakirtitah

 

WORD FOR WORD

 

niscayam--certainty; srnu--hear; me--from Me; tatra--therein;

tyage--in the matter of renunciation; bharata-sat-tama--O best of the

Bharatas; tyagah--renunciation; hi--certainly; purusa-vyaghra--O tiger

among human beings; tri-vidhah--of three kinds; samprakirtitah--is

declared.

 

TRANSLATION

 

O best of the Bharatas, now hear My judgment about renunciation. O

tiger among men, renunciation is declared in the scriptures to be of

three kinds.

 

PURPORT

 

Although there are differences of opinion about renunciation, here the

Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krsna, gives His judgment, which

should be taken as final. After all, the Vedas are different laws

given by the Lord. Here the Lord is personally present, and His word

should be taken as final. The Lord says that the process of

renunciation should be considered in terms of the modes of material

nature in which they are performed.
