नियतं कुरु कर्म त्वं कर्म ज्यायः हि अकर्मणः ।
शरीरयात्रा अपि च तॆ न प्रसिद्ध्यॆत् अकर्मणः ॥ ३.८ ॥
ನಿಯತಂ ಕುರು ಕರ್ಮ ತ್ವಂ ಕರ್ಮ ಜ್ಯಾಯಃ ಹಿ ಅಕರ್ಮಣಃ |
ಶರೀರಯಾತ್ರಾ ಅಪಿ ಚ ತೇ ನ ಪ್ರಸಿದ್ಧ್ಯೇತ್ ಅಕರ್ಮಣಃ || ೩.೮ ||
niyataM kuru karma tvaM karma jyAyaH hi akarmaNaH |
shareerayAtrA api cha tE na prasiddhyEt akarmaNaH || 3.8 ||
Do your appointed duty; because doing is better than not doing; even to keep the body and soul together is not possible by not doing the prescribed duties.
