- । ॥ १९८ ॥
In plain words
Ritual action is enjoined by scripture only for the undiscerning person whose heart is caught up in sensory pleasures like garlands and who lacks true discernment. Once dispassion arises in one who yearns for liberation, ritual is no longer prescribed for that wise seeker of supreme bliss.
Close to the Sanskrit
Ritual action is prescribed by scripture only for that dull-witted person who is devoid of the knowledge of the permanent and impermanent, whose heart is attached to the experience of objects like garlands, [and] having thoroughly become detached, desiring liberation; but it is not prescribed for the wise one seeking supreme bliss.
