अर्थ इत्येव सर्वेषां कर्मणामव्यतिक्रमः । न ऋतेऽर्थेन वर्तेते धर्मकामाविति श्रुतिः ॥
English Scholarly Translation
Arjuna said This world O king, is the field of work. Action, therefore, is spoken highly of here. Agriculture, trade, tending of cattle, and various kinds of arts, form what is called profit. Profit, again, is the end of all such acts. Without profit or wealth, both virtue and desire cannot be acquired. This is the injunction of the Shruti.
