Shloka 4
Karma-Phala Rahasya and the Ethics of Dāna (कर्मफल-रहस्यं दानधर्मश्च)
यस्यां यस्यामवस्थायां यत् करोति शुभाशुभम् | तस्यां तस्यामवस्थायां भुद्धक्ते जन्मनि जन्मनि,जिस-जिस अवस्थामें वह जो-जो शुभ या अशुभ कर्म करता है, प्रत्येक जन्मकी उसी- उसी अवस्थामें वह उसका फल भोगता है
yasyāṁ yasyām avasthāyāṁ yat karoti śubhāśubham | tasyāṁ tasyām avasthāyāṁ bhunkte janmani janmani ||
毗湿摩说道：“人在何种境遇、何种人生阶段造作善业或恶业，便在生生世世于同类境遇中受其果报——业之成熟，必与造业时的状态相应。”

Educational Q&A
Actions (good or bad) inevitably yield results, and the experience of those results is said to correspond to the very type of condition or life-situation in which the actions were performed—across repeated births.
In Anushasana Parva, Bhishma is instructing on dharma and moral law; here he states a principle of karmic fruition, linking deeds done in particular circumstances with results experienced in analogous circumstances in future lives.
