द्वैधीभूतो हि स्वकर्मप्रधान आत्मन एवोपकरोति संश्रितस्तु परस्योपकरोति नात्मनः ॥ कZ_०७.२.०५ ॥
Transliteration
dvaidhībhūto hi svakarmapradhāna ātmana evopakaroti saṃśritas tu parasyopakaroti nātmanaḥ
Translation
क्योंकि जो द्वैध नीति अपनाता है, उसके अपने कर्म ही प्रधान रहते हैं, इसलिए वह अपना ही हित करता है; पर जो आश्रय लेता है, वह दूसरे का हित करता है, अपना नहीं।
