महादेव्याः आविर्भाव-रूपान्तर-विहारवर्णनम्
Manifestation, Forms, and Divine Play of the Mahādevī
कृतस्य कर्मणो राजन्कल्पकोटिशतैरपि / प्रायश्चित्तोपभोगाभ्यां विना नाशो न जायते
kṛtasya karmaṇo rājankalpakoṭiśatairapi / prāyaścittopabhogābhyāṃ vinā nāśo na jāyate
O King, karma once performed does not perish even through hundreds of millions of kalpas; without expiation (prāyaścitta) and without undergoing its fruition, it is not destroyed.
