Translation
Happiness, misery and also good and bad are for the person associated with the gross and other bodies and having identification with them. Where is the fruit of either good or bad for the realised person abiding as pure existence, having cut off all the bondages?
Annotation
The expression ‘abiding as pure sat’ means that the person has realised his eternal nature.
