‘Enveloping
her
is
a
Banarasi
brocade
cape
handwoven
in
Varanasi,
India,
inscribed
with
a
Sanskrit
shloka
from
the
Bhagavad
Gita.

कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते
मा
फलेषु
कदाचन।
मा
कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा
ते
सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि

Which
means
‘You
have
a
right
to
perform
your
actions,
but
not
to
the
fruits
of
those
actions.
Let
not
the
fruits
of
action
be
your
motive,
nor
let
your
attachment
be
to
inaction.’
