नात्र मन्युस्त्वया कार्यः सर्वः स्वं भागमर्हति । अन्यजन्मनि यैर्यादृक्कृतं कर्म शुभाशुभम्
nātra manyustvayā kāryaḥ sarvaḥ svaṃ bhāgamarhati | anyajanmani yairyādṛkkṛtaṃ karma śubhāśubham
لا تُفسِح للغضب هنا سبيلًا؛ فكلُّ امرئٍ ينال نصيبَه—بحسب ما اقترف في ميلادٍ سابق من عملٍ صالحٍ أو طالح، على أيِّ وجهٍ كان فعله.
