Rudra Vaisnava Sampradaya:
Visnuswami |
Sridhara Swami's Commentary
Now Lord Krishna explains the benefits one will receive by offering
everything as an act of devotion to Him as declared in the previous verse.
By performing all Vedically authorised actions as an offering to the
Supreme Lord one will no longer be bound by the bondage of karma or
reactions to actions which results in both positive and negative
consequences. By offering everything one thinks and does to the Supreme
Lord, one's ongoing connection to karma is permanently neutralised and
severed by the Supreme Lord Himself and under His indomitable shelter with
one's mind endowed with the sublime state of renznciation one will
undoubtedly attains Him.

Brahma Vaisnava Sampradaya:
Madhvacarya |
Madhvacarya's Commentary
The words evam moksyase means by performing all actions in this way one
will by liberated refers to the devotees of the Supreme Lord who do
everything exclusively for His pleasure and propitiate Him in the true
sense of worship whether they are knowledgeable or not. One who is not
knowledgeable of the Supreme Lord is deluded and on receiving material
boons from pandering to lesser gods is deported back to the material worlds
of unawareness after enjoying the fruits of their merits. These are deluded
activities of the deluded who are not only unaware of the absolute position
of the Supreme Lord Krishna but also are in the darkness of ignorance
regarding the Him being the ultimate reality. Thus in conclusion without
knowing the paramount supremacy of the Supreme Lord Krishna as the
controller of all creation and all existence and all the demigods and every
other god; all knowledge no matter how profound or esoteric is superfluous
without any foundation because it is not understood in the correct context
as being connected to Him.

Sri Vaisnava Sampradaya:
Ramanuja |
Ramanuja's Commentary
The words sannyasa-yoga means the individual consciousness attaining
communion with theultimate consciousness by the complete surrendering and
offering of everything one has and is unto the Supreme Lord Krishna. One
whose nature has found refuge in such inner resignation is known as a
yuktatma or a renunciate of the eternal soul. Thus constantly meditating on
the atma or soul as being the eternal part of themselves and the Supreme
Lord and realizing that they are totally under His control they perform all
actions whether they are natural, scriptural, daily or occasional as direct
intended propitiation to Him. Thus thinking and acting in this way they are
released from the fetters of all karma or reactions to actions from the
immeasurable past which barricades the path leading to the Supreme Lord
from time immemorial and being freed from them attain the eternal spiritual
worlds in association with the Supreme Lord. Next here about His
transcendental and paramount nature beyond the sway of material nature.

Kumara Vaisnava Sampradaya:
Nimbaditya |
Kesava Kasmiri's Commentary
Behaving in this manner of offering everything in devotion to the Supreme
Lord Krishna including the doership of all actions with one's mind fully
established in the renunciation of yoga or the individual consciousness
attaining communion with the ultimate consciousness, one will be freed from
the bonds of karma or reactions from actions both good and evil that the
whole material creation is subjected to. This is because by surrendering
and dedicating all actions to the Supreme Lord all karma is neutralised as
has no longer any power to cause any effects whatsoever and thus released
from the clutches of reactions one will achieve exemption from samsara the
perpetual cycle o birth and death and attain the association of the
Supreme Lord in the eternal spiritual worlds.
