न तु यॊगम ऋते शक्या पराप्तुं सा परमा गतिः
अवबन्धॊ हि मुक्तस्य कर्मभिर नॊपपद्यते

Translations

English Translation

This verse emphasizes that liberation is unattainable without the practice of yoga. A liberated individual remains untouched by their actions, and the existential bindings that usually bind a soul do not apply to them. Thus, yoga acts as a crucial vehicle towards achieving the ultimate state.

हिंदी अनुवाद

यह श्लोक यह स्पष्ट करता है कि योग के बिना मुक्ति हासिल नहीं की जा सकती। एक मुक्त आत्मा अपने कर्मों से अछूती रहती है, और सामान्य अंदरुनी बंधनों का उस पर कोई प्रभाव नहीं होता। इस प्रकार, योग अंतिम अवस्था प्राप्त करने के लिए एक महत्वपूर्ण साधन है।
