कामात्मानः स्वर्गपरा जन्मकर्मफलप्रदाम्। क्रियाविशेषबहुलां भोगैश्वर्यगतिं प्रति॥
kamatmanah svarga-para janma-karma-phala-pradam kriya-vishesha-bahulam bhogaishvarya-gatim prati
Translation
Full of desires, with heaven as their goal, they prescribe elaborate rituals aimed at pleasure and power, resulting in rebirth as the fruit of action.
Commentary
Those who perform rituals solely for material benefits — wealth, power, heavenly pleasures — remain trapped in the cycle of birth and death. Their desires keep them bound to the material world.
