तथाच वसन्तराजः ॥"पूर्वजन्मजनितं पुराविदः कर्म दैवमिति सम्प्रचक्षते ॥उद्यमेन तदुपार्जितं तदा वांछितं फलति नैव केवलमि"ति ॥
So says Vasantaraja: 'Those who know the past call deeds done in a former birth the divine. When it is gained by effort, it gives the wished-for fruit. Never alone.'
Simple meaning: 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.
त्यादिवाक्यानां का गतिरितिचेदत्रोच्यते । तत्र कर्मणां वैचित्र्यं कानिचिद्दृढमूलानि कानिचिच्छिथिलमूलानि ॥
Answer: some deeds are firmly rooted, some loosely rooted.
