यः whoever, फलम् fruit, आविज्ञाय not knowing, कर्म तु एव action only, अनुधावति runs after, सः he, किंशुकसेचकः इव like the one who waters kimsuka tree (palasa), फलवेलायाम् at the time of reaping the fruits of action, शोचेत् will regret.

Without foreseeing the fruits of his action, he who runs after action only will regret at the time of fruition like the one who waters the palasa tree.
