11.3.43

/0 śrī-āvirhotra uvāca
karmākarma vikarmeti veda-vādo na laukikaḥ /
vedasya ceśvarātmatvāt tatra muhyanti sūrayaḥ //

43. Avirhotra said:— The division of karma as Karma, Akarma and Vikarma is a purely Vedic statement, but not a worldly talk, and as Veda has emanated from Iswara even learned men are

perplexed at it, in respect of duties enjoined by the Veda.
