भगवद् गीता अध्याय 6 श्लोक 17

युक्ताहारविहारस्य युक्तचेष्टस्य कर्मसु।
युक्तस्वप्नावबोधस्य योगो भवति दुःखहा।।6.17।।



English Translation - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
6.17. The Yoga becomes a misery-killer for him whose effort for food is appropriate, exertion in activities is proper, and sleep and waking are proportionate.


English Translation of Commentary  - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
6.16-17 Yogosti etc.  Yuktahara   etc.  For foods :  for sense-objects that are being brought  [by sense-organs].  Effort  :  activity  for  enjoying  [them].  Its  appropriateness is  neither to  have unlimited indulgence,  nor  to have  unlimited  abstention.  The same is in all cases.  The rest  [of the text]  is clear.  On the authority of  the  Sage  [Vyasa],  the form jagaratah etc.  [may be viewed correct] as those in the Vedic literature.   The same is in other similar instances also.
