यदाह शौनकः ॥"येन तु यत्प्राप्तव्यन्तस्य विधानं सुरेशसचिवोपि ॥यस्साक्षान्नियतिज्ञस्सोपि न शक्तोऽन्यथा कर्तुमि"ति ।
As Shaunaka says: 'Whatever one is to receive, its ordering cannot be changed. Not even the minister of the king of the gods can do it, though he knows destiny directly.'
Simple meaning: 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?
अपिच ॥ जन्मान्तरार्जितदैवमपि पुरुषकारं विना न घटतइति पुरुषार्थस्यैव मुख्यत्वम् ।
Effort comes first: even fate from past births needs effort to work.
