महाभारतः mahābhārataḥ - book-12, chapter-187, verse-59

यत्करोत्यनभिसंधिपूर्वकं तच्च निर्णुदति यत्पुरा कृतम् ।
नाप्रियं तदुभयं कुतः प्रियं तस्य तज्जनयतीह कुर्वतः ॥५९॥

59. yatkarotyanabhisaṁdhipūrvakaṁ; tacca nirṇudati yatpurā kṛtam ,
nāpriyaṁ tadubhayaṁ kutaḥ priyaṁ; tasya tajjanayatīha kurvataḥ.

59. yat karoti anabhisaṃdhipūrvakam
tat ca nirṇudati yat purā kṛtam
na apriyam tat ubhayam kutaḥ priyam
tasya tat janayati iha kurvataḥ

59. yat anabhisaṃdhipūrvakam karoti
tat ca yat purā kṛtam nirṇudati
tat ubhayam na apriyam kurvataḥ
tasya iha tat priyam kutaḥ janayati

59. What one performs without desiring the results, that action (karma) also nullifies what was done previously. That twofold outcome (of not generating new (karma) and eliminating past (karma)) is not unpleasant. From where then could that action generate anything desirable for him who acts in this world?
