CHAPTER 16 · VERSE 24
Bhagavad Gita 16.24
तस्माच्छास्त्रं प्रमाणं ते कार्याकार्यव्यवस्थितौ। ज्ञात्वा शास्त्रविधानोक्तं कर्म कर्तुमिहार्हसि॥
Therefore, let scriptural wisdom be your authority in determining what ought to be done and what ought not to be done. Knowing these guidelines, you should perform your duty in this world.
