the Nārada Bhakti Sūtras (नारद भक्ति सूत्रस्)
यः कर्मफलं त्यजति कर्माणि संन्यस्स्यति ततो निर्द्वन्द्वो भवति yaḥ karmaphalaṃ tyajati karmāṇi saṃnyassyati tato nirdvandvo bhavati
The line
He who gives up the fruit of action and lays the actions down then becomes free of the pairs.
नेपालीमा
जसले कर्मको फल त्याग्छ र कर्महरूलाई राखिदिन्छ, त्यसपछि ऊ जोडीहरूबाट मुक्त हुन्छ।
Where it sits
The same answer, one step further. Fruit first, then the actions themselves.
Split: yaḥ (यः) + karmaphalam (कर्मफलम्) + tyajati (त्यजति) + karmāṇi (कर्माणि) + saṃnyasyati (संन्यस्यति) + tataḥ (ततः) + nirdvandvaḥ (निर्द्वन्द्वः) + bhavati (भवति)
