Śaṅkarācārya's commentary

That man from whom all attachment is gone, from whom all cause of bondage — dharma and adharma — has fled away, whose mind is ever fixed in wisdom alone, who acts with a view to the performance of a sacrifice (with a view to please Lord Nārāyaṇa) — his action with its result is dissolved away, is reduced to nothing.
