बोधात्मकतया कर्मत्यागः संपद्यते स्वयम् ।
दग्धबीजा निरिच्छोच्चैरक्रियैव भवेत्क्रिया ॥ ३५ ॥

bodhātmakatayā karmatyāgaḥ saṃpadyate svayam |
dagdhabījā niricchoccairakriyaiva bhavetkriyā || 35 ||

It is the rational abandonment of a thing, that makes its true relinquishment, and whatever is done unwilfully, is like a fried grain or seed, that never vegetates nor brings forth its fruit.
