Karma’s Non-Extinction, Jīva’s Entry into the Embryo, and Instruction on Conduct-Dharma
ततस्तु क्षीयते चैव पुनश्चान्यत् प्रचीयते । यावत् तन्मोक्षयोगस्थं धर्म नैवावबुध्यते
tatastu kṣīyate caiva punaścānyat pracīyate | yāvat tanmokṣayogasthaṃ dharma naivāvabudhyate ||
ततस्तु क्षीयते चैव पुनश्चान्यत् प्रचीयते । यावत् तन्मोक्षयोगस्थं धर्मं नैवावबुध्यते ॥

Educational Q&A
Enjoyment may spend (exhaust) past karma, but it simultaneously generates new karma; only the understanding of dharma grounded in mokṣa-yoga breaks the continuing chain of karmic succession.
