भावार्थ:

कर्म क्या है? और अकर्म क्या है? इस प्रकार इसका निर्णय करने में बुद्धिमान पुरुष भी मोहित हो जाते हैं। इसलिए वह कर्मतत्व मैं तुझे भलीभाँति समझाकर कहूँगा, जिसे जानकर तू अशुभ से अर्थात कर्मबंधन से मुक्त हो जाएगा॥16॥

Translation

What is action and what is inaction? Even the wise are confused in determining this. Now I shall explain to you the secret of action, by knowing which, you may free yourself from material bondage.
