Adhyaya 34 — Madālāsā’s Instruction on Sadācāra (Householder Conduct, Purity, and Daily Rites)
अलर्क उवाच कथितं मे त्वया मातर्नित्य नैमित्तिकञ्च यत् । नित्यनैमित्तिकञ्चैव त्रिविधं कर्म पौरुषम् ॥
alarka uvāca kathitaṃ me tvayā mātā nitya naimittikaṃ ca yat | nityanaimittikaṃ caiva trividhaṃ karma pauruṣam ||
अलर्क म्हणाला—माते, आपण मला नित्यकर्म व नैमित्तिक कर्म स्पष्ट केले; म्हणून मानवी कर्म त्रिविध आहे—नित्य, नैमित्तिक आणि उभयात्मक।
