तस्मादज्ञाततत्त्वानां पुंसां कुर्वतामकुर्वतां च कर्तृता नतु ज्ञाततत्त्वानामवासनत्वात् ॥ ५ ॥

tasmādajñātatattvānāṃ puṃsāṃ kurvatāmakurvatāṃ ca kartṛtā natu jñātatattvānāmavāsanatvāt || 5 ||

(Prose). Hence the agency of the ignorant, arises from their wishing to do a thing, whether they do it or not; but not so of the wise, who having no will, are not culpable even for their involuntary actions. Untutored minds are full with the weeds of vice, but well cultivated souls are quite devoid of them. Gloss.
