Purport

Les devoirs réglementaires assignés par les Écritures à chacun des varṇas et āśramas, accomplis sans attachement, sans esprit de possession et donc sans attrait ni aversion, dans la conscience de Kṛṣṇa, pour satisfaire non sa propre personne mais le Suprême, relèvent de la vertu.

Regulated occupational duties, as prescribed in the scriptures in terms of the different orders and divisions of society, performed without attachment or proprietary rights and therefore without any love or hatred, and performed in Kṛṣṇa consciousness for the satisfaction of the Supreme, without self-satisfaction or self-gratification, are called actions in the mode of goodness.
