न मां कर्माणि लिम्पन्ति न मे कर्मफले स्पृहा।
इति मां योऽभिजानाति कर्मभिर्न स बध्यते॥ ४.१४ ॥
na māṁ karmāṇi limpanti na me karma-phale spṛihā
iti māṁ yo ’bhijānāti karmabhir na sa badhyate
Translation
My actions do not bind Me, nor do I desire anything that they can bring. He who thus realizes Me is not enslaved by action.
