Commentaries of the Four Authorized Vaisnava Sampradayas

as confirmed in the Garga Samhita Canto 10, Chapter 61, Verses 23, 24, 25, 26
Rudra Vaisnava Sampradaya:


Visnuswami

Sridhara Swami's Commentary

Moreover sannyasins or celibate brahmins who have fully accepted the renounced order for life completely withdrawing from external perceptions in the material world for devotion to the Supreme Lord when being free from kama or lust and krodha or anger and achieving atma tattva or realisation of the soul they achieve in this life the Brahman or the spiritual substratum pervading all existence and moksa or liberation from the material existence as well.

Brahma Vaisnava Sampradaya:


Madhvacarya

Madhvacarya's Commentary

This verse conveys the relative ease by which sannyasis or celibate brahmins exclusively devoted to the Supreme Lord Krishna can achieve the unparalleled bliss of atma tattva or soul realisation as well as the Brahman or spiritual substratum pervading all existence.

Sri Vaisnava Sampradaya:


Ramanuja

Ramanuja's Commentary

To those aspirants free from kama or lust and krodha or anger who are yatinam or renounced sannyasis who are celibate brahmins devoting themselves exclusively to the service of the Supreme Lord Krishna and His authorised incarnations. Such being perceiving the Brahman or spiritual substratum pervading all existence realise moksa or liberation from material existence everywhere in every action. Now the subject of karma yoga or the performance of prescribed Vedic activities which has as its aim atma tattva or soul realisation is now concluded.

Kumara Vaisnava Sampradaya:


Nimbaditya

Kesava Kasmiri's Commentary

There is still another group of human beings who experience an even higher level of experience. They are the yatis or sannyasis those who have given up wife, children, occupation, all they have and give everything to serve the lotus feet of the servant of the servant of the Supreme Lord Krishna. For such enlightened renunciates moksa or liberation is present every where they go in everything they do.

Thus ends commentaries of chapter 5, verse 26 of the Srimad Bhagavad-Gita.
