न काङ्क्षे विजयं कृष्ण न च राज्यं सुखानि च।किं नो राज्येन गोविन्द किं भोगैर्जीवितेन वा॥
na kāṅkṣe vijayaṃ kṛṣṇa na ca rājyaṃ sukhāni cakiṃ no rājyena govinda kiṃ bhogair jīvitena vā
Word by word
The verse says
I want no victory, Krishna, no kingdom, no pleasures. What is a kingdom to us, what are enjoyments, or life itself?
In plain words
He gives up the prize. All of it, in one line.
And this is worth taking seriously, because it is not posturing. Arjuna genuinely does not want the throne. He has spent thirteen years in exile over this quarrel and would have settled for five villages.
The question at the end is real. What is any of it for?
Where you've felt this · with money
The promotion arrives in the same week as the bad test result. The title is exactly what you wanted. It has gone flat. You stare at the letter and wonder what you ever thought it would do for you.
Going deeper
Arjuna has stumbled onto something true, from the wrong direction.
The Gita agrees with him that kingdoms and pleasures are not worth having as ends in themselves. Krishna will say so repeatedly. What Arjuna has got hold of here is a genuine insight: the fruit of this action is worthless.
But he draws the wrong conclusion. Because the fruit is worthless, he reasons, the action should not be done. And that is precisely the error 2.47 is aimed at. Krishna's teaching is that action and fruit come apart — that you act because the act is yours to do, not because the outcome is worth having.
So Arjuna is one step away from the answer and facing the wrong way. He has seen that the prize is empty. He concludes that he should sit down. Krishna will agree about the prize and disagree about the sitting down, and that narrow gap between them is where the whole book lives.
