Translation

Unexpectant, controlling thought, self, giving up possession of everything,
Only for the constitution, performing actions, [one] never incurs sin.

Expecting nothing, controlling the self and thoughts, giving up possessiveness of everything, acting only to maintain the constitution, [one] never incurs sin.

Translation

Free from desires, mind and senses under control, renouncing all proprietorship, doing mere bodily action, one does not incur sin (or Karmic reaction).

Translation

Such a man of understanding acts with mind and intelligence perfectly controlled, gives up all sense of proprietorship over his possessions and acts only for the bare necessities of life. Thus working, he is not affected by sinful reactions.
