Karma’s Non-Extinction, Jīva’s Entry into the Embryo, and Instruction on Conduct-Dharma
यथा प्रसूयमानस्तु फली दद्यात् फलं बहु । तथा स्याद् विपुलं पुण्यं शुद्धेन मनसा कृतम्
yathā prasūyamānas tu phalī dadyāt phalaṃ bahu | tathā syād vipulaṃ puṇyaṃ śuddhena manasā kṛtam ||
जैसे फल देने वाला वृक्ष फलने का समय आने पर बहुत-से फल देता है, वैसे ही शुद्ध मन से किया हुआ पुण्य अत्यन्त विपुल फल देता है।
