मौहूर्तिका देवगणा मुहूर्तायाश्च जज्ञिरे । ये वै फलं प्रयच्छन्ति भूतानां स्वस्वकालजम् ॥ ९ ॥
mauhūrtikā deva-gaṇā muhūrtāyāś ca jajñire ye vai phalaṁ prayacchanti bhūtānāṁ sva-sva-kālajam
मुहूर्ताच्या गर्भातून ‘मौहूर्तिक’ नावाचे देवगण उत्पन्न झाले. हे देव प्राण्यांना त्यांच्या-त्यांच्या काळानुसार कर्मफळ प्रदान करतात.
This verse explains that specific demigods (the Mauhūrtikas) and the deity Muhūrtā administer karma’s fruits, delivering results to living beings according to their proper, appointed time.
They are a class of devas described here as responsible for granting the timely fruits of actions—ensuring that beings receive outcomes when their karmic time matures.
The shloka encourages patience and responsibility: keep acting dharmically, knowing results may not appear immediately but will manifest when the proper time arrives.
