Translation (अनुवाद)
O Partha (Arjuna), there is no duty for Me in the three worlds. There is nothing unattained that deserves to be attained by Me. Yet, I engage Myself in action.
ओ पार्थ (अर्जुन), मेरे लिए तीनों लोकों में कोई भी कर्तव्य नहीं है। मेरे द्वारा प्राप्त किया जाने वाला कुछ भी अप्राप्त नहीं है। फिर भी, मैं कर्मों में लगा रहता हूँ।

Commentary (टीका)
The sloka presents the profound truth that the Divine, in this case Lord Krishna, although free from any obligatory duties across all realms, still chooses to perform actions. This is an exemplar of ideal leadership and selflessness, underscoring the role of setting a benchmark for others to emulate. Bhagavad Gita frequently reflects on the importance of performing one’s dharma (duty) selflessly, notwithstanding personal gains. This passage articulates that though the Supreme has attained everything conceivable, it still engages in creation and preservation for the welfare of all beings. Swami Sivananda, in his English commentary, instructs that individuals, particularly leaders, should take inspiration from the Divine’s actions, so as to prevent ignorance and wrong conduct from propagating among the masses. Swami Ramsukhdas, in his Hindi commentary, explores the concept of 'kartavya' (duty) and ‘abhiman’ (arrogance), explaining that actions should be free of self-interest, aiming purely for the betterment of others. The commentary advises practitioners to perform their duties with earnestness and detachment to serve society, as the material world is not possessed by any individual but administered for cosmic balance. The nuanced teaching is that true realization and liberation consist in acting without attachment, akin to how the Divine acts.
