prior to the dawn of knowledge
न नश्यतिna naśyati
does not disappear

its fruit
उत्सृष्ट–बाणवत्utsṛṣṭa–bāṇavat
like an arrow released
लक्ष्यम् उद्दिश्यlakṣyam uddiśya
aiming at a target

Translation

An arrow released assuming the target to be a tiger does not halt thereafter when it is realised to be a cow. It surely and speedily hits the target.

Annotation

The karma causative for the present body will surely give the result even after a person attains realisation. The Chandogya Upanishad (6–14–2) says that ‘the delay is only till the fall of the body and thereafter he attains sat’. This delay is due to the prārabdham (Jagadguru). It is seen that even the realised persons do suffer severe ailments like Ramana Maharshi or Sri Ramakrishna. This is due to the prārabdham.
