Lokakalpanā / The Ordering of the Worlds
Cosmogony and Earth’s Retrieval
एतदेवं च नैवं च न चोभे नानुभे तथा / कर्म स्वविषयं प्राहुः सत्त्वस्थाः समदर्शिनः
etadevaṃ ca naivaṃ ca na cobhe nānubhe tathā / karma svaviṣayaṃ prāhuḥ sattvasthāḥ samadarśinaḥ
It is thus, and yet not thus; neither both, nor neither—so it is said. The even-sighted, established in sattva, declare that karma bears fruit within its own proper sphere.
