=== Commentary (टीका) ===
This sloka delineates the contrasting outcomes for those who work selflessly and without attachment to the fruits of their actions against those who are driven by desires. A ''yukta'' (disciplined person) performs actions as an offering to a higher reality, not seeking personal gain, and thus reaches ''naiṣṭhikī śānti'' or ultimate peace. This peace is achieved through stages involving purification of the mind, acquisition of knowledge, renunciation of action, and stability in wisdom. The ''ayukta'', being ensnared by desires, does actions with expectation of fruits which ultimately leads to bondage. The underlying teaching is to perform duty with a focus on equanimity and not on results, allowing one to transcend desires and achieve enduring peace.

The English commentary by Swami Sivananda emphasizes on ''naishthiki śānti'' as the peace attained through devotion and steady insight. Meanwhile, Swami Ramsukhdas in the Hindi commentary elaborates on the definitions of ''yukta'' and ''ayukta'', explaining how desire-born actions lead to the cycle of birth and death. He underlines that relinquishing attachment leads to a transformation whereby past conditionings lose their effect, illustrating the practice of karma-yoga focused on duty rather than outcome for spiritual liberation.

The teaching underscores the practice of karma-yoga where one's actions are aligned with a greater duty devoid of personal desire, ultimately dissolving the binding effects of karma and fostering eternal peace.
