कर्मजं बुद्धियुक्ता हि फलं त्यक्त्वा मनीषिणः ।
जन्मबन्धविनिर्मुक्ताः पदं गच्छन्त्यनामयम् ।।

karmajaṃ buddhiyuktā hi phalaṃ tyaktvā manīṣiṇaḥ ।
janmabandhavinirmuktāḥ padaṃ gacchantyanāmayam ।।

बुद्धियुक्ता: - persons of buddhi-yoga, कर्मजं फलं - phala-s of their karma-s, त्यक्त्वा - leave, मनीषिणः - Will observe the means for bhakti-yoga, जन्मबन्धविनिर्मुक्ताः - get freed from endless samsara cycle, अनामयम् - bereft of any sorrows,

पदं - that which is to be attained, गच्छन्ति - will attain, हि - this is well known!

People doing the tapas of buddhi-yoga leave the results of all their karma-s. They have no expectation or enjoyment from it. By doing so, they will develop the means to observe bhakti-yoga which will in turn free them from the dreaded & infinite cycle of samsara

अनामयम् पदं गच्छन्ति - A place bereft of all sorrows, pain or grief.
पद्यत इति पदं - That which is attainable is called as 'padam' or 'place'.

The 'padam' here may refer to Sri Vaikunta, Nitya-Vibhuti or Parama-padam.

Since the actual attaining of 'padam' cannot be shown by experience, the 'हि' shabda is employed.

It means, prasiddhi or something that is well known (in veda & vedanta)
