Adhyātma-Upadeśa
आशीर्युक्तानि कर्माणि कुर्वते ये त्वतन्द्रिता: । तेडस्मिल्लॉके प्रमोदन््ते जायमाना: पुन: पुन:,जो लोग सावधान होकर सकाम कर्मोका अनुष्ठान करते हैं, वे बार-बार इस लोकमें जन्म ग्रहण करके सुखी होते हैं
āśīr-yuktāni karmāṇi kurvate ye tv atandritāḥ | te 'smin loke pramodante jāyamānāḥ punaḥ punaḥ ||
Vāyu dit : Ceux qui, vigilants et sans paresse, accomplissent des rites mus par le désir, accompagnés de bénédictions et d’intentions propitiatoires, ceux-là renaissent sans cesse en ce monde même et, encore et encore, y goûtent la jouissance et la satisfaction.

Educational Q&A
Desire-driven (sakāma) ritual action, even when performed carefully and properly, produces enjoyable worldly outcomes but keeps one within repeated birth in this world; it grants pleasure, not liberation.
Vāyudeva is speaking and explaining the consequence of a certain type of conduct: people who diligently perform benediction-oriented, fruit-seeking rites are said to be reborn repeatedly and to enjoy happiness in the worldly sphere.
