या वै विद्याः साधयन्तीह कर्म तासां फलं विद्यते नेतरासाम् । तत्रेह वै दृष्टफलं तु कर्म पीत्वोदकं शाम्यति तृष्णयार्तः ॥५-२९-६॥
Those forms of knowledge that here bring action to accomplishment bear fruit; the others do not. For action has a visible result in this world—just as one tormented by thirst is relieved by drinking water.
english translation
सोऽयं विधिर्विहितः कर्मणैव तद्वर्तते संजय तत्र कर्म । तत्र योऽन्यत्कर्मणः साधु मन्येन्मोघं तस्य लपितं दुर्बलस्य॥५-२९-७॥
This order is established by action alone; there, O Saṃjaya, action is what operates. Whoever in that sphere deems something other than action to be the proper means—his speech is futile, betraying weakness.
english translation
कर्मणामी भान्ति देवाः परत्र कर्मणैवेह प्लवते मातरिश्वा । अहोरात्रे विदधत्कर्मणैव अतन्द्रितो नित्यमुदेति सूर्यः ॥५-२९-८॥
By action the gods shine in the world beyond; by action here Mātariśvan, the Wind, moves. By action day and night are set in order, and the sun rises ever, untiring.
english translation
मासार्धमासानथ नक्षत्रयोगानतन्द्रितश्चन्द्रमा अभ्युपैति । अतन्द्रितो दहते जातवेदाः समिध्यमानः कर्म कुर्वन्प्रजाभ्यः॥५-२९-९॥
Untiring, the moon proceeds through months, half-months, and its conjunctions with the constellations. Untiring, Jātavedas—Fire—when kindled, burns, performing its appointed function for living beings.
english translation
अतन्द्रिता भारमिमं महान्तं बिभर्ति देवी पृथिवी बलेन । अतन्द्रिताः शीघ्रमपो वहन्ति संतर्पयन्त्यः सर्वभूतानि नद्यः॥५-२९-१०॥
Untiring, the goddess Earth bears this mighty burden by her strength. Untiring, rivers swiftly carry their waters, nourishing all beings.
