Strī-satkāra (On honoring women) — Mahābhārata 13.46
अहोरात्रं विजानाति ऋतवश्चापि नित्यश: । पुरुषे पापकं कर्म शुभं वा शुभकर्मिण:,पापीमें जो पापकर्म है और शुभकर्मी मनुष्यमें जो शुभकर्म है, उन सबको दिन, रात और ऋतुएँ सदा जानती रहती हैं
ahorātraṃ vijānāti ṛtavaś cāpi nityaśaḥ | puruṣe pāpakaṃ karma śubhaṃ vā śubhakarmiṇaḥ ||
昼と夜、そして四季もまた、絶えず証し立てる。罪人のうちにある罪業を知り、善を修する者のうちにある善業をも知っている。世界の律動そのものが、害であれ益であれ、いかなる行いも道義の秩序において見過ごされはしないという、沈黙の証言なのである。

Time itself—day, night, and the seasons—stands as an ever-present witness to human conduct; both wrongdoing and virtuous action are known and thus carry moral consequence.
Vipula is speaking in a didactic context, emphasizing ethical vigilance by stating that the cycles of time continually observe and ‘know’ the good and bad deeds performed by people.
