अभावात्कर्मणां ते च प्राक्तना नच वासनाः ।
निर्विकल्पकचिन्मात्रपरिस्पन्दैकधर्मकाः ॥ ३७ ॥

nirvikalpakacinmātraparispandaikadharmakāḥ || 37 ||

They were preadamite beings and devoid of changing desires; and the want of their prior acts (like those of the human kind), made them move about as free as spiritual beings in one uniform tenor of their course.
