Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak's, Srimad Bhagavadgita Rahasya or Karma Yoga-Sastra

After Janesvari, SrimadBhagavadgitaRahasya is the Marathi translation and commentary on Gita written by Tilak, while he was serving his prison term at Mandalay, Burma. The text was completed in Mandalay Jail from 1908 to 1914, and was published in 1915 when he returned to Poona. The English translation was done by B.S. Sukthankar in 1934. In his commentary, he gave high emphasis to nishkamakarmayoga (selfless action) over karma sanyasa (renouncing actions). Also, he gave importance to the Mima]nsa rule of interpretation, which is part of the tradition of contemplation, which is followed to discover the meanings in the Vedic texts.
