Transliteration

śhubhāśhubha-phalair evaṁ mokṣhyase karma-bandhanaiḥ sannyāsa-yoga-yuktātmā vimukto mām upaiṣhyasi

Word by Word

śhubha aśhubha phalaiḥ from good and bad results
evam thus
mokṣhyase you shall be freed
karma work
bandhanaiḥ from the bondage
sanyāsa-yoga renunciation of selfishness
yukta-ātmā having the mind attached to me
vimuktaḥ liberated
mām to me
upaiṣhyasi you shall reach
Simplified Perspective

When you cease to grasp at the fruits of your actions—neither clinging to success nor fleeing from failure—the knots of karma begin to dissolve like morning mist. This is sannyasa-yoga, the yoga of non-attachment: your mind becomes steady in devotion to the Divine, and bondage transforms into liberation.

The modern seeker need not renounce action itself, but rather the ego-driven hunger for results that chains the soul to the wheel of becoming.
