चक्षुषा मनसा वाचा कर्मणा च चतुर्विधम् | कुरुते यादृशं कर्म तादृशं प्रतिपद्यते,मनुष्य नेत्र, मन, वाणी और क्रियाके द्वारा चार प्रकारके कर्म करता है और जैसा कर्म करता है वैसा ही उसका फल पाता है
cakṣuṣā manasā vācā karmaṇā ca caturvidham | kurute yādṛśaṃ karma tādṛśaṃ pratipadyate ||
મનુષ્ય દૃષ્ટિ, મન, વાણી અને ક્રિયા—આ ચાર રીતે કર્મ કરે છે; જેવું કર્મ કરે છે, તેવું જ ફળ ભોગવે છે.

Educational Q&A
Karma is fourfold—through perception (eye), intention (mind), speech, and bodily deed—and the fruit one experiences corresponds to the moral quality of what one does in these domains.
In Śānti Parva’s instructional discourse, the sage Parāśara is teaching ethical causality: human conduct across thought, word, and deed (including what one chooses to look at) shapes one’s future experience.
