Bhagavad Gita 18.2
श्री भगवानुवाच · śrī bhagavānuvāca
काम्यानां कर्मणां न्यासं संन्यासं कवयो विदुः।सर्वकर्मफलत्यागं प्राहुस्त्यागं विचक्षणाः॥
kāmyānāṃ karmaṇāṃ nyāsaṃ saṃnyāsaṃ kavayo viduḥ |sarvakarmaphalatyāgaṃ prāhustyāgaṃ vicakṣaṇāḥ ||
The Blessed Lord said, "The sages understand sannyasa to be the renunciation of action with desire; the wise declare the abandonment of the fruits of all actions to be tyaga."
Lord Shri Krishna replied: The sages say that renunciation is forgoing an action that springs from desire, and relinquishing is the surrender of its fruit.
Our plain-language meaning of this verse is waiting for scholar review.
