ग्रहराशिस्वरूपवर्षप्रवेशाद्यानयनाधिकारः
ननु प्राचीनकर्मरूपस्य दैवस्यावश्यम्भावित्वात्कथमुद्यमो वर्षफलविचारस्य ॥
But one may ask: the divine, in the form of past deeds, is bound to come. So why make the effort of studying the year's results?
Simple meaning: A question: if fate from past deeds must come, why study the year's results?
यदाह शौनकः ॥
Shaunaka: what one is to receive cannot be changed, even by Brihaspati.
तथा दैवस्य बलवत्त्वे पुरुषकारो निरर्थकइति । अत्राहुः । किं यदि दैवमेव फलं तदा कृष्याद्युपायेन पुरुषकाररूपा प्रवृत्तिर्न स्यात् अथच श्रुतिस्मृत्यावेदितविधिनिषेधाश्च निरर्थकाः स्युः ।
Fate and effort: if only fate counted, work and the rules of scripture would be useless.
तदाह केशवार्कः
Keshavarka: if the past alone gave results, why would people farm, and why would scripture give rules?
