Verse 19.6
परलोको तथा नास्ति दानफलं क्वचिद् यत्र ।
वीतरागो वीतदोषो वीतमोहो न विद्यते ॥ ६ ॥
paraloko tathā nāsti dānaphalaṃ kvacid yatra |
vītarāgo vītadoṣo vītamoho na vidyate || 6 ||
As there is no world beyond, there is no reward for charity anywhere. There is none to be found who is rid of passion, hatred and folly. (6)
