### Swami Gambirananda (english)
The Blessed Lord said, "The learned ones know sannyasa to be the giving up of actions done with a desire for reward. The adepts call the abandonment of the results of all works 'tyaga'."
### Swami Sivananda (english)
The Blessed Lord said, "The sages understand sannyasa to be the renunciation of action with desire; the wise declare the abandonment of the fruits of all actions to be tyaga."
### Dr. S. Sankaranarayan (english)
The Bhagavat said, "The seers understand the act of renouncing desire-motivated actions as renunciation; the experts declare the relinquishment of the fruits of all actions to be relinquishment."
### Shri Purohit Swami (english)
Lord Shri Krishna replied: The sages say that renunciation is forgoing an action that springs from desire, and relinquishing is the surrender of its fruit.
