Manu 12.89
इह च-अमुत्र वा काम्यं प्रवृत्तं कर्म कीर्त्यते) । निष्कामं ज्ञातपूर्वं तु निवृत्तम् उपदिश्यते) ॥
iha ca-amutra vā kāmyaṃ pravṛttaṃ karma kīrtyate) | niṣ.kāmaṃ jñātapūrvaṃ tu nivṛttam upadiśyate) ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Acts which secure (the fulfilment of) wishes in this world or in the next are called pravrztta (such as cause a continuation of mundane existence); but acts performed without any desire (for a reward), preceded by (the acquisition) of (true) knowledge, are declared to be nivrz'tta (such as cause the cessation of mundane existence). ^
