कर्मणः कस्य माहात्म्यात्पुनः संजीवितास्त्वमी । विदित्वा पुण्ययोगेन पौर्णमासीफलं त्विदम्
karmaṇaḥ kasya māhātmyātpunaḥ saṃjīvitāstvamī | viditvā puṇyayogena paurṇamāsīphalaṃ tvidam
ด้วยมหิทธิแห่งกรรมของผู้ใด พวกเจ้าจึงกลับมีชีวิตอีกครั้ง? เมื่อรู้ด้วยโยคะแห่งบุญแล้ว จงบอกเราเถิดว่า ผลแห่งพรตปูรณมาสีในวันเพ็ญนี้คืออะไร
Unspecified (narrative dialogue context not provided in input; likely a question posed to a revived person/group within the Adhyaya’s dialogue frame).
Concept: Merit-bearing observances (especially Paurṇamāsī) can yield extraordinary results; one should inquire into the karmic cause and understand phala through dharmic reasoning.
Application: Treat holy days as intentional resets: keep a simple vow on full-moon days (satya, ahiṃsā, charity, japa), and reflect on cause-and-effect before judging events as ‘luck’.

FAQs
It refers to the spiritual “fruit” (phala) of the Paurṇamāsī observance—rites, vows, or worship performed on the full-moon day—treated in Purāṇic literature as a merit-generating (puṇya) practice.
The verse frames outcomes—even extraordinary ones like revival—as connected to karma and puṇya, emphasizing moral causality: beneficial results arise from virtuous action and accumulated merit.
Not explicitly in this line. It is primarily karma-and-ritual oriented (deed, merit, and the fruit of a full-moon observance), though later context in the chapter may connect such rites to devotional or theistic aims.
