Having acquired both (i.e. the fruits of virtue and vice) which have an end (men of action attains heaven or hell for a limited time only), men of action again come into this world and become attached to actions by reasons of their previous virtue of vice. A wise man neutralizes the effects of his sinful acts by his virtues. Virtue is strong and hence his emancipation.
गत्वोभय कर्मणा युज्यतेऽस्थिरं शुभस्य पापस्य स चापि कर्मणा। धर्मेण पापं प्रणुदतीह विद्वान् धर्मो बलीयानिति तस्य सिद्धिः॥
