मुनिरुवाच ।
धर्माधर्मौ वासना च कर्मात्मा जीव इत्यपि ।
पर्यायशब्दभारोऽत्र कल्प्यते न तु वास्तवः ॥ ३७ ॥

muniruvāca |
dharmādharmau vāsanā ca karmātmā jīva ityapi |
paryāyaśabdabhāro'tra kalpyate na tu vāstavaḥ || 37 ||

The sage replied:—The words piety and impiety, our desires and acts, are words of the same import, and significant of their causality in framing the living soul according to their own stamp; but these are mere suppositions, and neither true causes of the schesis of our souls, nor of the modes of our lives.
