हन्यते तात कः केन यतः स्वकृतभुक्पुमान् संचितस्यातिमहता वत्स क्लेशेन मानवैः

hanyate tāta kaḥ kena yataḥ svakṛtabhukpumān saṃcitasyātimahatā vatsa kleśena mānavaiḥ

Mahal kong anak—sino nga ba ang tunay na napapatay ng sino? Sapagkat ang kaluluwang may katawan (paśu) ay di maiiwasang tumanggap ng bunga ng sariling gawa. At ang napakalaking naipong karma ng tao ay nauubos lamang sa pamamagitan ng matinding pagdurusa.
