इह यत् क्रियते कर्म तत् परत्रोपयुज्यते । तस्माच्छरीरं युञज्जीत तपसा नियमेन च,“इस लोकमें जो कर्म किया जाता है, उसका फल परलोकमें भोगना पड़ता है। इसलिये अपने शरीरको तप और नियमोंके पालनमें लगावे
iha yat kriyate karma tat paratro'payujyate | tasmāc charīraṁ yuñjīta tapasā niyamena ca |
قال فايشَمبايانا: إن كل عمل يُفعل هنا في هذا العالم يصير نافذًا للآخرة، حيث لا بد من تذوّق ثماره. لذلك ينبغي للمرء أن يروّض الجسد ويُشغله بالتقشّف (تَپَس) وبمراعاة القيود الأخلاقية (نِيَما)، ليُصاغ المصير الآتي بجهدٍ مقصودٍ مستقيم.

Educational Q&A
Actions performed in this life have consequences that mature in the hereafter; therefore one should consciously train the body through tapas (austerity) and niyama (ethical restraints/observances) to align one’s conduct with dharma and secure a better future state.
Vaiśampāyana, as narrator, delivers a general moral instruction within the Vana Parva context, emphasizing karmic causality and recommending disciplined practice (tapas and niyama) as the proper use of the body.
