Verse 5.70.17

सौषुप्तीं वृत्तिमाश्रित्य कुरु मा कुरु वानघ ।
कर्म प्रकृतिजं पाकवशादुपगतं स्थितम् ॥ १७ ॥

sauṣuptīṃ vṛttimāśritya kuru mā kuru vānagha |
karma prakṛtijaṃ pākavaśādupagataṃ sthitam || 17 ||

Do you rely in this state of hypnotism, and either perform or refrain from your actions as you may like: for our actions are no more than what arise of our nature, and pass for the results of the deeds of our past lives, and are enacted by ordinances of eternal laws.
