For such a person there is no purpose to be gained by action done, nor by action left undone, here in this world. Nor does he depend on any being at all for any purpose of his own.
Explanation
Krishna is continuing his description of the person who delights and is content in the self (ātman), as in the previous verse. For such a person, action brings no gain and inaction brings no loss, and he needs nothing from other beings to fulfil any purpose. This is why he is free from compulsion, which leads into Krishna's advice in the next verse to act without attachment (saṅga). Commentators differ on whether this describes a renouncer who has stepped beyond all duty or a liberated person who still acts; the verse itself leaves both readings open.
