mā eva bhūt bhavatu atra kaḥ saṃbhramaḥ
phalguni phale phalāvaham muñca
buddhavān asi paribhramaiḥ kṛtam

83. Let it be thus, or let it be otherwise; or let it not be at all, or let it be. What cause for hesitation is there in this? Relinquish attachment to trifling results and to the pursuit of results. You have attained understanding. Enough with these wanderings (saṃsāra).
