What a man does without expectation of fruits dissipates his acts of a pristine life. The acts, however, of such a person both of this end and his pristine life cannot lead to Liberation. On the other hand, such destruction of former acts and such acts of this life cannot bring what is disagreeable (viz., hell), even if the wise man engages in acts.
यत्करोत्यनभिसंधिपूर्वकं तच्च निर्गुदति तत् पुराकृतम्। न प्रियं तदुभयं न चाप्रियं तस्य तज्जनयतीह कुर्वतः॥
