Verse 4.38.2
यतः कर्तृत्वं नाम किमुच्यते ।
यो ह्यन्तस्थाया मनोवृत्तेर्निश्चय उपादेयताप्रत्ययो वासनाभिधानस्तत्कर्तृत्वशब्देनोच्यते ॥ २ ॥
yataḥ kartṛtvaṃ nāma kimucyate |
yo hyantasthāyā manovṛtterniścaya upādeyatāpratyayo vāsanābhidhānastatkartṛtvaśabdenocyate || 2 ||
For what is it that is called an action, but the exertion of mental and voluntary energies, with a fixed determination and desire of performing some physical acts, which they call the actions of a person. (But the apathetic minds of the wise, being insensible both of the purposes and their ends, there is no imputation of agency which can ever attach to them.
