峾 (स्वर्गका�) refers to “desiring to attain the heaven�.—Each chapter of the Bhagavadgītā describes various aspects of the means to liberation (mukti/ǰṣa), which is considered the highest good in Vedānta. Śaṃkara also holds the purpose of the Bhagavadgītā to be the attainment of liberation, quickly declaring knowledge of the self, preceded by renunciation of all actions to be its means. The performance of disinterested actions, i.e. actions performed after renouncing its fruits, is combined with the forsaking of both those Vedic rituals that are performed solely out of desire for some personal gain (峾ⲹ첹). These are: performance of the dzپṣṭdz sacrifice in order to attain the heaven (jyotiṣṭomena svargakāmo yajeta), performance of the ٰܳṣṭ sacrifice in order to have a son, performance of the īī sacrifice to have rainfall etc.�(See Nikhilananda 1997: VS 1.7, p. 4 and Bhattacharya and Bhattacharya Śāstrī 1978-83: Vol. 3, part 1, p. 43).
