Verse 168

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ १६८ ॥

In plain words

"Not by action, not by children, not by wealth" — the śruti says this in her own voice. She denies, in so many words, that karma is the cause of mokṣa.

Close to the Sanskrit

"Not by action, not by progeny, by wealth" — thus the śruti herself directly indeed denies action's being-the-cause of liberation.
