यन्नाम किल नास्त्येव तच्छान्तौ का कदर्थना ।
परमार्थादृते बन्धः किंचिन्नाम न विद्यते ॥ ४५ ॥

yannāma kila nāstyeva tacchāntau kā kadarthanā |
paramārthādṛte bandhaḥ kiṃcinnāma na vidyate || 45 ||

Whereas the external acts of faith [are] entirely devoid of any substantiality or meritoriousness in them, it is no way difficult to get [rid] of them at once; it is solely our spiritual bond which is our chief concern, beside which there is no bond whatsoever.
