Adhyāya 262: Śabda-brahman, Para-brahman, and the Ethics of Tyāga
Kapila–Syūmaraśmi Saṃvāda
Devanagari script
न ते यज्ञेष्वात्मसु वा फलं पश्यन्ति किंचन
Translation
Ils ne cherchaient aucun fruit pour eux-mêmes dans les sacrifices. Mais ceux qui, doutant qu’un sacrifice porte ou non un fruit, s’y adonnent malgré tout d’une manière quelconque, sont des hommes avides de richesse : cupides, rusés et mauvais.
