श्लोक कहता है
Actions do not smear me, and I have no appetite for what they produce. Whoever knows me like that is not tied down by anything he does.
सरल शब्दों में
Krishna explains how he can act and not be a doer.
Na māṁ karmāṇi limpanti — actions do not stain me. Limp is the verb for smearing, for something clinging to a surface.
And the reason is in the second clause: na me karma-phale spṛhā — no thirst for the fruit.
आपने इसे कहाँ महसूस किया है
A veteran plays the same match as the rookie. Afterwards one of them replays every mistake for a week and the other has already gone home. The same ninety minutes went through both of them.
और गहराई में
This is 2.47 stated from the other end, and it is the chapter's central claim.
There, Arjuna was told not to make results his motive. Here Krishna describes a being for whom that is simply the case — and says that is precisely why action does not adhere to him.
So the mechanism of binding is named: it is the wanting, not the doing. Action does not bind. Appetite binds, and it uses action as the medium.
Which answers the puzzle of verse 13. Krishna can be the maker of the orders and also akartā, because doer in this book's sense does not mean the one through whom it happened. It means the one who wanted something from it.
And the last clause turns it outward: whoever knows this about me is likewise not bound. Not whoever imitates this. Whoever knows it.
That is the pattern the chapter keeps returning to. Krishna is not offering an exemption he holds alone. He is describing the structure and pointing out that it is general.
