pravṛttaṃ karma saṃsevyaṃ devānām eti sāmyatām
nivṛttaṃ sevamānas tu bhūtāny atyeti pañca vai //
He who sedulously performs acts leading to future births (pravritta) becomes equal to the gods; but he who is intent on the performance of those causing the cessation (of existence, nivritta) indeed, passes beyond (the reach of) the five elements.
