श्रीराम उवाच ।
बीजाङ्कुराणां पुरुषकर्मणां जन्मकारिणाम् ।

bījāṅkurāṇāṃ puruṣakarmaṇāṃ janmakāriṇām |
daivaśabdārthayuktānāṃ tattvaṃ vada vibho punaḥ || 1 ||

Rama said:—Please sir, explain to me moreover regarding the acts of men, which become the causes of their repeated births, as seeds are sources of the germs of future trees; and those to which the word daiva or divian is applied, imply the Divine dispensation, destiny or fate.
