।।3.31 3.32।।फलमाह ये म इति। ये त्वेवं निवृत्तकर्मिणस्तेऽपि मुच्यन्ते ज्ञानद्वारा किम्वपरोक्षज्ञानिनः न तु साधनान्तरमुच्यते।निवृत्तादीनि कर्माणि ह्यपरोक्षेशदृष्टये। अपरोक्षेशदृष्टिस्तु मुक्तौ किञ्चिन्न मार्गते। सर्वं तदन्तराऽधाय मुक्तये साधनं भवेत्। न किञ्चिदन्तराधाय निर्वाणायापरोक्षदृक् इति ह्युक्तं नारायणाष्टाक्षरकल्पे। अत एव समुच्चयनिमयो निराकृतः।
(Same as 3.31) He says the fruit is Mine. Even renouncers do not become free by mere knowledge; direct realization, not cessation of means, effects liberation. Deeds of renunciation serve to prepare for aparokṣa vision; but the aparokṣa vision itself does not proceed along any path toward moksha. Everything must be inwardly applied so that it serves as means for liberation. The Narayana-Ashtakshara-Kalpa states that the aparokṣa seer has nothing else to undertake for nirvāṇa. Therefore the rule of collecting (of teachings) is rejected.
