ऐहिकं प्राक्तनं वापि कर्म यद्रचितं स्फुरत् ।
पौरुषोऽसौ परो यत्नो न कदाचन निष्फलः ॥ ३४ ॥

aihikaṃ prāktanaṃ vāpi karma yadracitaṃ sphurat |
pauruṣo'sau paro yatno na kadācana niṣphalaḥ || 34 ||

No deliberate action of the present or past life goes for nothing;all human actions and efforts are attended with their just results, to which they are properly directed.
