तत्तत्र यथेह रोके तासामेव सो निस प्रकार इस रोके भपने नां सेवादिजितो लोकः पराधी- कर्मत भ्र सा हुमा यह रोक जिका उपमोग पराधीन है, क्षीण इन ( भनास्मवे्ताभो) को हप्र ता है इस प्रकार…। आदत और परिणाम एक चक्र बनाते हैं: जो बार-बार किया जाता है, वह अगली प्रवृत्ति को मजबूत करता है। यह पंक्ति कर्म को उसी चक्र के रूप में देखती है, भाग्य के आकस्मिक प्रहार के रूप में नहीं।
