कुर्वन्ति धर्माधर्माश्चेत्तेन प्रतिघरूपिणा ।
तदस्याप्रतिघं रूपं कुर्वन्तीत्यसमञ्जसम् ॥ ३६ ॥

kurvanti dharmādharmāścettena pratigharūpiṇā |
tadasyāpratighaṃ rūpaṃ kurvantītyasamañjasam || 36 ||

If it is on account of the pious or impious acts, which are done in our present destructible bodies, that we are destined to their retributions afterwards; then say why our indestructible souls, should be brought to feel their results in other bodies, which seems to be very absurd to me.
