ग्रहराशिस्वरूपवर्षप्रवेशाद्यानयनाधिकारः
अपिच ॥ जन्मान्तरार्जितदैवमपि पुरुषकारं विना न घटतइति पुरुषार्थस्यैव मुख्यत्वम् ।
Moreover, even the divine earned in another birth does not come about without human effort. So effort is the main thing.
Simple meaning: Effort comes first: even fate from past births needs effort to work.
तथाच वसन्तराजः ॥
Vasantaraja: past deeds are fate; joined with effort they give results, never alone.
अथ पुरुषार्थस्यैव मुख्यत्वाङ्गीकारे ।
An objection from fate: Nala, Rama and Yudhishthira could not escape their sorrows.
नाभुक्तं क्षीयते कर्म कल्पकोटिशतैरपि॥
Past deeds: good or bad, every deed must be lived through.
