While interpreting Bhagavad-gita, the concept of 'Niskama-karma' is underlined by :

  • A.Tilak
  • B.Madhva
  • C.Madhva and Tilak
  • D.Neither Madhva nor Tilak

Answer: C

The answer is Madhva and Tilak.

Tilak's Gita Rahasya makes niskama karma, desireless action, the central teaching of the Gita. Madhva's Gita commentaries also stress action performed without desire for its fruit, offered as worship of Vishnu, as the discipline that purifies the mind and leads to knowledge and devotion. They differ on the final goal, but both underline niskama karma in reading the Gita.

So naming only one of them leaves out the other, and 'neither' denies what both commentators teach.
