No one, O king, can ever escape from what is ordained. If, again, Destiny be the result of pristine acts, then no sin visits one in this life even as the sin of cutting down a tree cannot affect the maker of the axe.
न हि कश्चित् क्वचिद् राजन् दिष्टं प्रतिनिवर्तते। दण्डशस्त्रकृतं पापं पुरुषे तन्न विद्यते॥
