Verse 452

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ ४५२ ॥

In plain words

Even once knowledge has dawned, the karma already set in motion before that doesn't just vanish — not until it has delivered what it was meant to deliver. It's like an arrow already loosed at its target: it must complete its flight.

Close to the Sanskrit

Even after the arising of knowledge, karma begun previously does not perish through knowledge without first giving its own fruit — like an arrow already shot, aimed at a target.
