Vedantasara - Verse 17

Sanskrit

ऐहिकानां स्रक्चन्दनवनितादिविषयभोगानां कर्मजन्यतयानित्यत्ववदामुष्मिकाणामप्यमृतादि- विषयभोगानामनित्यतया तेभ्यो नितरां विरतिः - इहामुत्रार्थफलभोगविरागः

Swami Nikhilananda's Translation

The objects of enjoyment hereafter, such as immortality etc., being as transitory as the enjoyment of such earthly objects as a garland of flowers, sandal paste and sex-pleasures, which are transitory, being results of action – an utter disregard for all of them is renunciation of the enjoyment of fruits of action in this world and hereafter.
