यस्य सर्वे समारम्भाः कामसङ्कल्पवर्जिताः | ज्ञानाग्निदग्धकर्माणं तमाहुः पण्डितं बुधाः
yasya sarve samārambhāḥ kāmasaṅkalpavarjitāḥ . jñānāgnidagdhakarmāṇaṃ tamāhuḥ paṇḍitaṃ budhāḥ
智者称那些所有行动都摆脱了欲望和意图，其行动已被智慧之火焚尽的人为贤者。
The wise call him learned whose actions are all devoid of desires and their thougts, [Kama-sankalpa is variously translated as 'desires and purposes', 'plans and desires for results', 'hankering for desires', etc. But Sankarcarya shows sankalpa as the cause of kama. -Tr.] and whose actions have been burnt away by the fire of wisdom.
一位圣者行动的目的仅是为了给大众树立榜样。尽管他工作，但他什么也没做，因为他没有自私的利益，他的行动已被智慧之火焚尽，这智慧在于通过对自性或梵智（BrahmaJnana）的认识，领悟到行动中的无行动。梵智是一种强大的精神之火，它能焚毁所有善恶行动（Karma）的结果，使开悟的圣者彻底摆脱行动的束缚。过着完美弃绝生活的圣者，只做维持身体所需的事情。
A sage performs actions only with a view to set an example to the masses. Though he works? he does nothing as he has no selfish interests? as his actions are burnt by the fire of wisdom which consists in the realisaion of inaction in action? through the knowledge of the Self or BrahmaJnana. BrahmaJnana is a mighty spiritual fire which consumes the results of all kinds of actions (Karmas)? good and bad? and makes the enlightened sage ite free from the bonds of action. The sage who leads a life of perfect renunciation does only what is reired for the bare existence of his body. (Cf.III.19IV.10IV.37).
