sukhābhyudayikaṃ caiva naiḥśreyasikam eva ca
pravṛttaṃ ca nivṛttaṃ ca dvividhaṃ karma vaidikam //

The acts prescribed by the Veda are of two kinds, such as procure an increase of happiness and cause a continuation (of mundane existence, pravritta), and such as ensure supreme bliss and cause a cessation (of mundane existence, nivritta).

Georg Bühler 1886, The Laws of Manu
