One that burns anything burns a thing that has been already burnt. One who kills, only kills, a victim already killed. One who is destroyed, has been before destroyed. A thing that is acquired by a person is what is already arrived and intended for his acquirement.
दग्धमेवानुदहति हतमेवानुहन्यते। नश्यते नष्टमेवाग्रे लब्धव्यं लभते नरः॥
