तत्त्वान्येवं कलाद्यानि प्रतिपुंनियतानि हि । देहेषु कर्मवशतः सर्वेषु विचरंति हि ॥ ९० ॥
tattvānyevaṃ kalādyāni pratipuṃniyatāni hi | deheṣu karmavaśataḥ sarveṣu vicaraṃti hi || 90 ||
如是，诸原理（tattva），自诸分力（kalā）起，确为各个个体所分配；并为业力（karma）所驱使，游行于一切有身之形。

It frames embodiment as a karmic process: the soul’s experience in different bodies is accompanied by allotted tattvas and kalās that function according to past actions, underscoring the need for liberation-oriented knowledge and practice.
By showing that karmic forces propel the embodied condition, it implicitly points to Bhakti to Vishnu as a means to transcend karma’s compulsion—devotion purifies action and redirects the mind toward moksha rather than repeated embodiment.
The verse supports the technical worldview behind Vedanga-informed practice: understanding karma’s operation and the constituents of embodiment helps contextualize disciplined ritual (Kalpa) and correct conduct as tools for purification and higher knowledge.
