Shuka said The injunctions of the Vedas are twofold. They once lay down the command,Do all acts. They again declare renounce acts.-I ask-where do persons go by the help of Knowledge and where by the help of acts.
शुक उवाच यदिदं वेदवचनं कुरु कर्म त्यजेति च। कां दिशं विद्यया यान्ति कां च गच्छन्ति कर्मणाशा ॥
