कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन। मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि ॥

karmaṇyevādhikāraste mā phaleṣu kadācana mā karmaphalaheturbhūrmā te saṅgo.astvakarmaṇi

Telang, 1882

Your business is with action alone not by any means with fruit. Let not the fruit of action be your motive (to action). Let not your attachment be (fixed) on inaction.

Built for scrutiny

Meaning opens up when the source stays visible.

Every passage keeps its text, translation, source locator, review status, and checksum together. The 700-verse structure passes automated checks; independent human review is still in progress.
