phalam

दूरेण ह्यवरं कर्म बुद्धियोगाद्धनञ्जय

phala-hetavaḥ — those seeking fruits of their work

Action for the sake of its fruit is far inferior, Arjuna, to action guided by understanding. Take refuge in understanding. Those who work only for the fruit are wretched.

कर्मजं बुद्धियुक्ता हि फलं त्यक्त्वा मनीषिणः

phalam — fruits

The wise, joined to understanding, let go of the fruit born of action, and freed from the bondage of birth they reach a state beyond harm.

सांख्ययोगौ पृथग्बालाः प्रवदन्ति न पण्डिताः

phalam — the result

Children say that renunciation and yoga are different things; the learned do not. Whoever is truly established in one gains the fruit of both.

अन्तवत्तु फलं तेषां तद्भवत्यल्पमेधसाम्

phalam — fruit

But the fruit they gain has an end, for their understanding is small. Worshippers of the gods go to the gods; those devoted to me come to me.

पत्रं पुष्पं फलं तोयं यो मे भक्त्या प्रयच्छति

phalam — a fruit

A leaf, a flower, a fruit, water — whoever offers me these with devotion, I accept that offering from one who has given it with a pure heart.

अथैतदप्यशक्तोऽसि कर्तुं मद्योगमाश्रितः

phala-tyāgam — to renounce the fruits

And if you cannot manage even this, then take refuge in being joined to me, and give up the fruit of all action, self-restrained.

कर्मणः सुकृतस्याहुः सात्त्विकं निर्मलं फलम्

phalam — result

The fruit of good action is said to be spotless and of the nature of clarity; the fruit of restlessness is pain; and the fruit of inertia is unknowing.

अभिसंधाय तु फलं दम्भार्थमपि चैव यत्

phalam — the result

But an offering made looking to its fruit, or for the sake of show — know that to be of restlessness.

यत्तु प्रत्युपकारार्थं फलमुद्दिश्य वा पुनः

phalam — reward

But a gift given expecting something in return, or looking to its fruit, or grudgingly, is held to be of restlessness.

तदित्यनभिसन्धाय फलं यज्ञतपःक्रियाः

phalam — fruitive rewards

With Tat, and without desiring the fruit, the various acts of offering, austerity and giving are performed by those who seek release.

दुःखमित्येव यत्कर्म कायक्लेशभयात्त्यजेत्

phalam — result

One who gives up action because it is troublesome, out of fear of bodily discomfort, has let go in the manner of restlessness, and gains nothing by it.

कार्यमित्येव यत्कर्म नियतं क्रियतेऽर्जुन

phalam — reward

But one who does the action that falls to them because it is to be done, having let go of attachment and of its fruit — that letting go is of clarity.

यया तु धर्मकामार्थान् धृत्या धारयतेऽर्जुन

phala-ākāṅkṣhī — desire for rewards

But the steadiness by which one holds to duty, pleasure and gain out of attachment, craving their fruit, is of restlessness.
