[ The ninth
Trans. – 399 In ( case of ) punya and pāpa being absent, the commandment of the performance of the sacrifice etc. (prescribed) for one who aspires for Salvation, would become useless. Moreover, all sorts of fruition ( of the good turn ) like munificence etc, (welknown) in the world would also become null and void. ( 1947 )

टीका - पुण्य-पापयोरसच्चे यदेतद् वहिरग्निहोत्राद्यनुष्ठानं स्वर्गकामस्य, यच्च दान- हिंसादिफलं पुण्य-पापात्मकं लोके प्रसिद्धं तत् सर्वमसंबद्धं स्यात्, स्वर्गस्यापि पुण्यफलत्वात्, पुण्य-पापयोश्च भवदभिप्रायेणासत्वात् तस्मादभ्युपगन्तव्ये एव पुण्य-पापे । तदेवं वेदवचनप्रामाण्यात्, युक्तितश्च च्छिन्नस्तस्य संशय इति ।। ३९९ ॥ (१९४७ )

D. C.—If there were no punya-pāpa in this world, the commandment of the Vedas that one who aspires for Salvation should perform agnihotra etc, would be of no value. Moreover, the results of actions like dana and himsā in the forms of punya and papa respectively which are welknown in this world, would all be futile. Hence, take it for granted that punya and pāpa are existing, and leave off all your doubts. 399 (1947)
Thus,
