Arguna said: O you of mighty arms! O Hrishikesa! O destroyer of Kesin! I wish to know the truth about renunciation and abandonment distinctly. The Deity said: By renunciation the sages understand the rejection of actions done with desires. The wise call the abandonment of the fruit of all actions (by the name) abandonment. Some wise men say, that action should be abandoned as being full of evil; and others, that the actions of sacrifice, gift, and penance should not be abandoned.
