स चेन्निवृत्तबन्धस्तु विशुद्धक्षापि कर्मभि:,द्विजश्रेष्ठस जब बन्धनकारक कर्मोंका भोग पूरा हो जाता है और सत्कमोंके द्वारा मनुष्यमें शुद्धि आ जाती है, तब वह तप और योगका आरम्भ करता है। अतः बहुत-से शुभकर्मोके फलस्वरूप उसे उत्तम लोकोंका भोग प्राप्त होता है
sa cen nivṛttabandhas tu viśuddhātmāpi karmabhiḥ | yadā bandhanakārakakarmāṇāṃ bhogaḥ paripūryate satkarmabhiś ca manuṣye śuddhir jāyate tadā sa tapaḥ-yogam ārabhate | ataḥ bahubhiḥ śubhakarmaphalaiḥ sa uttamalokānāṃ bhogam avāpnoti ||
The Hunter said: When a person’s binding ties have ceased, and even the self becomes purified through right action—when the experience of the results of deeds that create bondage is fully exhausted, and purity arises in a person through good deeds—then he begins the disciplines of austerity and yoga. Therefore, as the fruit of many auspicious actions, he attains the enjoyment of higher worlds.
