Sanskrit (Devanāgarī)
गुणात्मकं कर्म वदन्ति वेदा;स्तस्मान्मन्त्रा मन्त्रमूलं हि कर्म । विधिर्विधेयं मनसोपपत्तिः; फलस्य भोक्ता तु यथा शरीरी ॥
English Scholarly Translation
Acts have the three Gunas (of Satva Rajas, and Tamas) for their soul. The Vedas say this. The Mantras, therefore, have the same three qualities, since it is with Mantras that acts are performed. The ritual also is possessed by the same three qualities. The fruits of action depend upon the mind. It is the embodied creature who enjoys those fruits.
