Translation

* This verse tells us not ask for any material benefits even when times are tough and to trust Shri Hari.Shri Hari himself runs the whole show, making the saatvic people do saatvic karmas,raajasic people do raajasic karmas and the taamsic people; taamsic karmas. If we let Sri Hari run the show it is the best course of action.

I do not ask for anything, even if I get bad times I am not afraid. Shri Hari the Lord of all, will himself get all the tasks done as per their gunas. I pray to you, each second to grant us this great knowledge.
