Adhyāya 262: Śabda-brahman, Para-brahman, and the Ethics of Tyāga
Kapila–Syūmaraśmi Saṃvāda
न चैतानृत्विजो लुब्धा याजयन्ति फलार्थिन: । वे सात््विक महापुरुष उस ब्रह्मधामको ही प्राप्त होते हैं
na caitān ṛtvijo lubdhā yājayanti phalārthinaḥ | sāttvikā mahāpuruṣāḥ brahmadhāmaiva prāpnuvanti, na te svargakāṅkṣiṇaḥ; na te yaśo-dhanārthaṃ yajante; satpuruṣamārgeṇa caranti ca ahiṃsrayajñān anuṣṭhānti | vanaspati-annaphala-mūlāni eva te haviṣyaṃ manyante; dhanecchukānāṃ lubdhānām ṛtvijāṃ tair yajño na kāryate ||
丘拉达罗说：贪婪的祭司不会为那些不求世间回报的人主持祭祀。具足萨埵之德的大士，只志在至上的梵之住处（梵界）；他们不恋天界，也不为名声与财富而行祭。循善人之道，他们修行无害的仪轨，只以草木、谷粮、果实与根茎为供献（havis）。由于此类供奉无利可图，逐利的祭司便拒绝主持这样的祭祀。

Educational Q&A
True religious practice is defined by purity and non-violence, not by the pursuit of heaven, fame, or wealth. Those who seek Brahman as the highest goal offer simple, harmless oblations; greed-driven ritualism is criticized.
Chulādhāra contrasts sāttvika seekers with profit-seeking priests: the former perform non-violent sacrifices with plant-based offerings and aim for Brahman, while the latter refuse to officiate because there is no material gain.
