Bhagavad Gita 2.42

Sankhya Yoga

यामिमां पुष्पितां वाचं प्रवदन्त्यविपश्चितः | वेदवादरताः पार्थ नान्यदस्तीति वादिनः ||

yām imāṁ puṣpitāṁ vācaṁ pravadanty avipaścitaḥ veda-vāda-ratāḥ pārtha nānyad astīti vādinaḥ

English

Men of small knowledge are very much attached to the flowery words of the Vedas, which recommend various fruitive activities for elevation to heavenly planets, resultant good birth, power, and so forth. Being desirous of sense enjoyment and opulent life, they say that there is nothing more than this.

हिन्दी

हे पार्थ! जो मूढ़ लोग वेदों के उस पुष्पित (फलश्रुतिरूप) वचन को, जो कि 'इसके सिवा और कुछ नहीं है' - ऐसा कहने वाले और वेदवाद में रत होने वाले हैं, प्रकाशित करते हैं।
