“The sages understand sannyāsa to be the giving up of desire-prompted actions; the wise call tyāga the relinquishing of the fruits of all actions.” K reports the range of views and then, characteristically, cuts through them. The two words are often used interchangeably, but the essential teaching is one: what is renounced is never action itself (which is impossible for the embodied), but the desire driving it and the fruit clung to. This is the same niṣkāma karma taught since canto 2, now given its final name.
