Karma’s Non-Extinction, Jīva’s Entry into the Embryo, and Instruction on Conduct-Dharma
यथा प्रसूयमानस्तु फली दद्यात् फलं बहु । तथा स्याद् विपुलं पुण्यं शुद्धेन मनसा कृतम्
yathā prasūyamānas tu phalī dadyāt phalaṃ bahu | tathā syād vipulaṃ puṇyaṃ śuddhena manasā kṛtam ||
正如结果之树，及其时节，便结出累累硕果；同样，以清净之心所修之福德（puṇya），其果报亦极为丰盛。
