Such votaries, renouncing fruit of deeds, Gain endless peace: the unvowed, the passion-bound, Seeking a fruit from works, are fastened down.
Votaries are people who have made vows of duty and dedication to a religious service, like nuns or monks. Krishna is saying that these people who renounce all of their hard work to Krishna gain peace because they do not become entangled in karma. Their work is done in the spirit of surrendering the fruits to Krishna, so they can achieve peace and restfulness.
