Kamyakarma (Sanskrit: काम्यकर्म, romanized: Kāmyakarma) refers to those karmas (deeds) in Hinduism that are prudential in nature, motivated by the desire for a given outcome.[1] Unlike the nitya karmas, the Shastras do not require daily or regular observance of these rituals.[2] They are generally performed for the sake of their intended results.[3] A few kamyakarmas are listed below:
