Sanskrit Text

आयुषोऽन्ते प्रहायेदं क्षीणप्रायं कलेवरम् प्रतिगृह्णाति तत्पापं कर्तुः कर्मफलं हि तत्

English Translation

When the lease of their life expires, abandoning their weakened bodies, they take upon themselves all the effects of their sinful acts, for none but the actor is laden with the consequences of his own acts.
