कर्मोदये कर्मफलानुरागास्तत्रानुयान्ति न तरन्ति मृत्युम् ।

In plain words

When the deed ripens, those who crave its fruit go trailing after it — and they never get past death.

Close to the Sanskrit

When action rises to fruition, those whose attachment is to the fruits of action follow after it there; they do not cross over death.
