एवम् बहुविधा यज्ञा वितता ब्रह्मणो मुखे ।
कर्मजान् विद्धि तान् सर्वान् एवम् ज्ञात्वा विमोक्ष्यसे ॥ ३२ ॥


evam bahuvidhA yajJA vitatA brahmaNo mukhe |
karmajAn viddhi tAn sarvAn evam jJAtvA vimokSyase || 32 ||

एवम् [evam] In this way, बहुविधाः [bahuvidhAH] many varieties of यज्ञाः [yajJAH] worship वितताः [vitatAH] were elaborated ब्रह्मणो मुखे [brahmaNo mukhe] as ways in which we can realize the Self. विद्धि [viddhi] Know सर्वान् [sarvAn] them all कर्मजान् [karmajAn] to be born out of activity. एवम् ज्ञात्वा [evam jJAtvA] Knowing this, विमोक्ष्यसे [vimokSyase] you will attain Moksha .

In this way, the Lord explained many ways of working without being driven by attachments. He presented them as the means to attain the true nature of the Self. Know that all of them are born out of activity- know them to occur in our daily activities and in activities that are prescribed to us. You will attain Moksha by knowing this and following this path of activity, as described.

Activity has knowledge woven into it. In this way, knowledge in action was explained. Next, The Lord says that knowledge is indeed the main point of activity.
