फल कर्मात्मकं विद्यात् कर्म ज्ञेयात्मकं तथा । ज्ञेयं ज्ञानात्मकं विद्याज्ज्ञानं सदसदात्मकम्,इस प्रकार फलको कर्मस्वरूप समझे। कर्मको जाननेमें आनेवाले पदार्थोंका रूप समझे और ज्ञेयको ज्ञानरूप समझे तथा ज्ञानका स्वरूप कार्य और कारण जाने
phalaṁ karmātmakaṁ vidyāt karma jñeyātmakaṁ tathā | jñeyaṁ jñānātmakaṁ vidyāj jñānaṁ sad-asad-ātmakam ||
Bhishma said: One should understand that the ‘result’ is of the nature of action; that action, in turn, is of the nature of what is to be known (the knowable field of objects); and that the knowable is of the nature of knowledge. Knowledge itself has a twofold character—being connected with both the existent and the non-existent (cause and effect, manifestation and its prior condition). Thus, by tracing result back through action to knowledge, one sees how ethical responsibility and right understanding are bound together.
