[Kalpana Muzumdar]

कर्मान्यजन्मनि कृतं सदसच्च दैवं

तत् केवलं भवति जन्मनि सत्कुलाद्ये ।

बाल्यात् परं विनयसौष्ठवपात्रतापि

पुंदैवजा कृषिवदित्यत उद्यमेत ॥

karmānyajanmani kṛtaṃ sadasacca daivaṃ
tat kevalaṃ bhavati janmani satkulādye |
bālyāt paraṃ vinayasauṣṭhavapātratāpi
puṃdaivajā kṛṣivadityata udyameta ||

The action done in a previous birth, whether good or bad, is called Fate ; that merely results in birth in a good family ; modesty, goodness and the state of deserving from boyhood onwards are the results of good deeds done now ; hence one should exert oneself (in good deeds), as a good harvest is the combined result of human action and luck in life.
