The threefold fruit of action (evil, good and mixed) accrues after death to the non-abandoners, but never to the abandoners.

The fruit of action, unwanted, wanted or mixed, comes in three ways after death to those who have not relinquished, but never to those who have renounced.

The fruits of action are threefold: unwelcome, welcome, and mixed. Those who have not relinquished experience these after death, as consequences that shape future lives. But for those who have truly renounced, there are no such results. The verse shows what is at stake in the inner attitude toward action. Attachment to results binds one to the round of birth and death (saṃsāra), while letting go of them frees one from it.
