विवक्ष्यते न व्यापारो लक्ष्ये कर्तुस्तदापरे । लभंते कर्तृते पश्य पच्यते ह्योदनः स्वयम् ॥ ८३ ॥
vivakṣyate na vyāpāro lakṣye kartustadāpare | labhaṃte kartṛte paśya pacyate hyodanaḥ svayam || 83 ||
جب عمل کا ارادہ ہو تب بھی مقصود میں فاعل کا کوئی حقیقی ‘کاروبار’ نہیں ہوتا؛ لوگ ہی فاعلیت کا نسبت کرتے ہیں۔ دیکھو—چاول گویا خود ہی پک جاتا ہے۔
