nityārcanaṃ divā kuryādrātrau naimittikārcanam / ubhayoḥ kāmyakarmā syāditi śāstrasya niścayaḥ
Translation
By day one should perform nityārcana, the daily worship; by night, naimittikārcana, worship done on special occasions. If one does both with desire for reward, it becomes kāmya-karma; such is the śāstra’s settled conclusion.
