Paapa Punya
Punyasya phalam ichchanti
Punyam nechchanti manvaaha |
Na papa phalam ichchanti
Paapam kurvanti yatnataha ||
They do not desire the fruits of their sins but they commit sins with lot of efforts(knowingly).
One has to pay a price for everything (not necessarily in terms of money).
So one when desires the fruits of good deeds (punya phala) he has to do good deeds. Also, he has to restrain himself from committing sins.
Of course, the noble exercise their right to do without aspiring for the results.

Wow.. all these are bringing back to my mind my Sanskrit text book from the High school days! Man! Ah! the quintessential being of nature, the summation of everything thatz wonderful and grotesque! How conveniently he seems to rationalize his behaviors, justify his actions, and cover himself with his false pretensions! this shloka is a wonderful mockery of his hypocrism!
Nice site.
