IsU 2 — Īśa Upaniṣad

IsU 2

कुर्वन्नेवेह कर्माणि जिजीविषेच्छतँ समाः । एवं त्वयि नान्यथेतोऽस्ति न कर्म लिप्यते नरे

kurvann eveha karmāṇi jijīviṣecchataṃ samāḥ | evaṃ tvayi nānyatheto 'sti na karma lipyate nare

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

If one should desire to live in this world a hundred years, one should live performing Karma (righteous deeds). Thus thou mayest live; there is no other way. By doing this, Karma (the fruits of thy actions) will not defile thee.

Translated by Swami Paramananda

Though a man may wish to live a hundred years, performing works, it will be thus with him; but not in any other way: work will thus not cling to a man.

Translated by F. Max Müller
