नाशुद्धमाचरेत् तस्मादभीप्सन् देहयापनम् | कर्मणा विवरं कुर्वन्न लोकानाप्नुयाच्छुभान्,अतः जो देह-बन्धनसे मुक्त होना चाहता हो, उसे कभी अशुद्ध (अवैध) आचरण नहीं करना चाहिये। वह निष्काम कर्मद्वारा मोक्षका द्वार खोले और स्वर्ग आदि पुण्यलोक पानेकी कदापि इच्छा न करे
Translation
Therefore, one who longs to be freed from the bondage of the body should never engage in impure or unlawful conduct. By desireless action (niṣkāma karma) he should open the gate to liberation, and he should not at all yearn for meritorious realms such as heaven.
