अस्मिन्विधौ वर्तमाने यथावदुच्चावचा मतयो ब्राह्मणानाम् । कर्मणाहुः सिद्धिमेके परत्र हित्वा कर्म विद्यया सिद्धिमेके । नाभुञ्जानो भक्ष्यभोज्यस्य तृप्येद्विद्वानपीह विदितं ब्राह्मणानाम्॥५-२९-५॥

While this established order prevails, the views of the brāhmaṇas are diverse. Some declare that attainment in the other world is won through action; others, abandoning action, declare attainment through knowledge. Yet even the learned are not satisfied by food and drink unless they truly partake of them—this is well known among brāhmaṇas.
