Verse 6.86.2

वासनाह्रासमानीय धर्माधर्मैर्न गृह्यते ।
ततो न जायते जन्तुरिति नो दर्शनं मुने ॥ २ ॥

vāsanāhrāsamānīya dharmādharmairna gṛhyate |
tato na jāyate janturiti no darśanaṃ mune || 2 ||

When this desire or want of the mind of a man is either diminished or brought under his control, he is no longer subject to the acts of goodness or vice but becomes exempt both from merit and demerit; and their consequences of reiterated births and deaths by the utter indifference.
