Shankaracharya's commentary, trans. Alladi Mahadeva Sastry (1897)
[1]Sages understand 'sannyāsa' to be the renouncement of interested works; the abandonment of the fruits of all works, the learned declare, is 'tyāga.'
BG 18.2
काम्यानां कर्मणां न्यासं सन्न्यासं कवयो विदुः । सर्वकर्मफलत्यागं प्राहुस् त्यागं विचक्षणाः ॥
kāmyānāṃ karmaṇāṃ nyāsaṃ sannyāsaṃ kavayo viduḥ | sarva-karma-phala-tyāgaṃ prāhus tyāgaṃ vicakṣaṇāḥ ||
"Sannyāsa = abandoning desire-motivated action; tyāga = abandoning fruits of ALL action — say the learned."
