In English

He who is without attachment, free, his mind centered in wisdom, and his actions done as a sacrifice, leave no trace behind.

Translated by Shri Purohit Swami

To one who is devoid of attachment, who is liberated, whose mind is established in knowledge, and who works for the sake of sacrifice (for the sake of God), the whole action is dissolved.

Translated by Swami Sivananda
