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 ||
ಹಣ್ಣು ಕೊಡುವ ಮರವು ಹಣ್ಣಾಗುವ ಕಾಲ ಬಂದಾಗ ಬಹಳ ಹಣ್ಣುಗಳನ್ನು ನೀಡುವಂತೆ, ಶುದ್ಧ ಮನಸ್ಸಿನಿಂದ ಮಾಡಿದ ಪುಣ್ಯವು ಅಪಾರ ಫಲವನ್ನು ನೀಡುತ್ತದೆ.
