कर्मणो वेदनं त्यागः स च सिद्धः प्रबोधतः ।
अवस्तु नेतरेणार्थः किं कृतेनाकृतेन वा ॥ २३ ॥

karmaṇo vedanaṃ tyāgaḥ sa ca siddhaḥ prabodhataḥ |
avastu netareṇārthaḥ kiṃ kṛtenākṛtena vā || 23 ||

The unconsciousness of one's acts, makes the abandonment of his action, and this is perfected when a person is in full possession of his understanding (or else the unconsciousness of a dead man of his former acts, does not amount to his abandonment of action). It matters not whether a man does ought or naught, with his unsubstantial or insensible organs of action.
