Superior is wisdom-sacrifice to the sacrifice with objects, O Parantapa (scorcher of the foes). All actions in their entirety, O Arjuna, culminate in knowledge.

Shri Purohit Swami

हे परन्तप अर्जुन ! द्रव्यमय यज्ञसे ज्ञानयज्ञ श्रेष्ठ है। सम्पूर्ण कर्म और पदार्थ ज्ञान-(तत्त्वज्ञान-) में समाप्त हो जाते हैं।

Swami Ramsukhdas

हे परन्तप ! द्रव्यों से सम्पन्न होने वाले यज्ञ की अपेक्षा ज्ञानयज्ञ श्रेष्ठ है। हे पार्थ ! सम्पूर्ण अखिल कर्म ज्ञान में समाप्त होते हैं,  अर्थात् ज्ञान उनकी पराकाष्ठा है।

Swami Tejomayananda
