Therefore, let the scripture (śāstra) be your authority, in determining what is to be done and what is not to be done. Having known the action (karma) declared by the rules of the scripture, you ought to perform it here in this world.
Let tradition be your standard in judging what to do or avoid; knowing the norms of tradition, perform your action here.
(24) Therefore let Scripture be your norm, determining what is right and wrong. Once you know what the ordinance of Scripture bids you do, you should perform down here the works [therein prescribed].
16.24 Therefore, the scripture is your authority as regards the determination of what is to be done and what is not to be done. After understanding (your) duty as presented by scriptural injunction, you ought to perform (your duty) here.
16.24 Therefore, let the Śāstra be your authority for determining what should be done and what should not be done. Knowing what is enjoined in the injunctions of the Śāstra, you should perform work here.
16.24 Therefore, let the scripture be thy authority in determining what ought to be done and what ought not to be done. Having known what is said in the ordinance of the scriptures, thou shouldst act here in this world.
