tataḥ śubhāśubhaṁ kṛtvā labhante sarvadehinaḥ | ihaivoccāvacān bhogān prāpnuvanti svakarmabhiḥ ||
Therefore, having performed deeds that are good or evil, all embodied beings obtain their results. Here in this very world, in accordance with their own actions, they come to experience pleasures and sufferings of higher and lower kinds.
सिद्ध उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse teaches moral causality: good and evil actions inevitably yield corresponding results, and beings experience a range of higher and lower enjoyments and sufferings according to their own deeds.
A Siddha (perfected sage) is instructing the listener on the working of karma, emphasizing that embodied beings reap the fruits of their actions and undergo appropriate experiences in this world in line with what they have done.
