Chapter 18: Conclusionमोक्षसंन्यासयोग

18:12

The threefold fruit of action—undesirable, desirable, and mixed—accrues after death to those who do not renounce, but never to renouncers.

Sanskrit

अनिष्टमिष्टं मिश्रं च त्रिविधं कर्मणः फलम् | भवत्यत्यागिनां प्रेत्य न तु सन्न्यासिनां क्वचित् ||

Transliteration

aniṣṭam iṣṭaṁ miśraṁ ca tri-vidhaṁ karmaṇaḥ phalam bhavaty atyāgināṁ pretya na tu sannyāsināṁ kvacit

Commentary

Actions bear three types of results: bad, good, and mixed. Those attached to results experience these after death. True renouncers, surrendering all fruits, are freed from karmic consequences.
