ईश्वरेण नियुक्तो हि साध्वसाधु च भारत । कुरुते पुरुष: कर्म फलमीश्वरगामि तत्,(१) भारत! यदि प्रेरक ईश्वरको कर्ता माना जाय तब तो यही कहना पड़ेगा कि ईश्वरसे प्रेरित होकर ही मनुष्य शुभ या अशुभ कर्म करता है; अतः उसका फल भी ईश्वरको ही मिलना चाहिये

Translation
వ్యాసుడు అన్నాడు— ఓ భారతా! ఈశ్వరుడే ప్రేరక-కర్త అని అంగీకరిస్తే, మనిషి శుభాశుభ కర్మలను ఆయన ప్రేరణతోనే చేస్తాడు; అప్పుడు ఆ కర్మఫలమూ ఈశ్వరునికే చెందాలి.
