For that
प्रारब्धंprārabdhaṃ
the karma causative for the body

let it be assumed (as the cause)
अनादेः आत्मनःanādeḥ ātmanaḥ
For the beginning–less Atman
न युक्तंna yuktaṃ
not correct (to see prārabdhaṃ as the cause)
न एवna eva

आत्माātmā
Atman

Translation

The scripture, which is unfailing in its word (which is never false), says that Atman is originless and eternal. How can one attribute prārabdham for the person who is established in such stage?

Annotation

The scriptural line referred to here is from the Kathopanishad (1–2–18).
