तद् यथेह कर्मजितो लोकः क्षीयत एवम् एवामुत्र पुण्यजितो लोकः क्षीयते । तद् य इहात्मानम् अननुविद्य व्रजन्त्य् एतांश् च सत्यान् कामांस् तेषां सर्वेषु लोकेष्व् अकामचारो भवति । अथ य इहात्मानम् अनिवुद्य व्रजन्त्य् एतंश् च सत्यान् कामांस् तेषां सर्वेषु लोकेषु कामचारो भवति

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

'And as here on earth, whatever has been acquired by exertion, perishes, so perishes whatever is acquired for the next world by sacrifices and other good actions performed on earth. Those who depart from hence without having discovered the Self and those true desires, for them there is no freedom in all the worlds. But those who depart from hence, after having discovered the Self and those true desires, for them there is freedom in all the worlds.
