Verse 313

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ ३१३ ॥

In plain words

Watch closely: when the outward effect grows, the seed behind it grows too; when the effect dies away, the seed dies with it. So the way forward is simple - check the effect, and starve the seed at its root.

Close to the Sanskrit

From the growth of the effect, the growth of the seed is observed; from the destruction of the effect, the destruction of the seed [follows]. Therefore, one should check the effect.
