Translation (अनुवाद)
Understand that action (karma) arises from Brahma (Veda) which originates from the imperishable (Brahman). Therefore, the all-pervading Brahman is ever established in sacrifice (yajña).
कर्म को ब्रह्म (वेद) से उत्पन्न जानें, जो अविनाशी (ब्रह्म) से उत्पन्न हुआ है। अतः सर्वव्यापी ब्रह्म यज्ञ में ही नित्य प्रतिष्ठित है।

Commentary (टीका)
The verse explores the origin of action (karma) and its connection with Brahma (representing Vedas), which is ultimately rooted in the Imperishable (Brahman). According to Swami Sivananda, Brahma signifies the Vedas, as they emerge from the breath of the Omniscient. Vedas guide actions as they are inherited from Brahma. Consequently, all actions are inherently connected to sacrifices (yajña), essential due to the Vedic guidelines they follow.
Swami Ramsukhdas’s Hindi commentary elaborates on the interconnectedness of beings, nature, and divine principles through yajña. He explains that sacrifices, broadly referring to all dutiful actions performed selflessly, maintains cosmic harmony. Thus, Brahman is not only all-pervading but is 'active' fundamentally through these sacrifices, perpetuating the lifecycle as emphasized in the Shlokas. The performance of one's duties with selflessness aligns one with the eternal order, making the ever-present Brahman manifest through such acts.
This reflects the Gita’s overall teachings on duty, selfless action, and the holistic view of nature sustained through Yajña. The verse succinctly establishes that the divine principle, while omnipresent, is experienced directly through the righteous and selfless discharge of one's duties.
