नैव तस्य कृतेनार्थो नाकृतेनेह कश्चन | न चास्य सर्वभूतेषु कश्चिदर्थव्यपाश्रयः
naiva tasya kṛtenārtho nākṛteneha kaścana . na cāsya sarvabhūteṣu kaścidarthavyapāśrayaḥ
對於這樣的人，在此世間，無論是行動或不行動，都與他毫無關涉。此外，他對任何眾生或事物，亦無任何依賴以達成目的。
For him there is no concern here at all with performing action; nor any (concern) with nonperformance. Moreover, for him there is no dependence on any object to serve any purpose.
這樣一位在「ātman」（真我）中尋得喜悅的聖者，無論採取任何行動，都無法從中獲得任何益處；對他而言，行動本身已無任何目的。同樣地，不行動也無法使他遭受任何惡果（Pratyavaya Dosha）。他無需依賴任何人或任何事物來達成特定目標，也無需努力去取悅任何人。
The sage who is thus rejoicing in the Self does not gain anything by doing any action. For him really no purpose is served by an action. No evil (Pratyavaya Dosha) can touch him from inaction. He does not lose anything from inaction. He need not depend upon anybody to gain a particular object. He need not exert himself to get the favour of anybody.
