1.23.65

[23] atra cāturībhiḥ iti tasyānarthajñatā, dharma-dhāma diśataḥ ity adhārmikatā, tad-ubhayābhyāṃ tad-ubhaya-rahitatā, punaḥ cāturībhiḥ iti vimūḍhatā, tābhir nas tu karṣataḥ iti pūrṇatā muktatā ca | tatra svakṛtānuddeśena kṛta-hantṛtā ca niṣiddhā | tyāge cāsmad-duḥkha-vīkṣaṇābhāvena nirdayatā tu śeṣiteti śliṣyati |

[23] Here, by "clever tricks" is meant his not knowing genuine benefit; by "points to the abode of duty" is meant unrighteousness; by both of these is meant being devoid of both [categories]; furthermore, by "clever tricks" is meant being utterly bewildered; by "draws us" with those [tricks] is meant being fully self-satisfied and liberated. In that context, because he did not have his own deed in view, being a destroyer of benefits received is negated. And in abandonment, due to the absence of seeing our grief, mercilessness alone remains: thus the pun applies.
