Tap a word to reveal its meaning. Say each one aloud as you go.
In English
The Lord of this universe has not ordained activity, nor any incentive thereto, nor any relation between an act and its consequences; all this is the work of Nature.
Translated by Shri Purohit Swami
Neither does the Lord create agency nor actions for the world, nor union with the fruits of actions; rather, it is Nature that acts.
Translated by Swami Sivananda
