The Srutis mention Prârabdha work in the case of such a man, and we can infer this from results actually seen.
'['External perceptions such as satisfying the physical needs, or teaching enquirers, etc.
2Srutis &c.-The reference is to Chhandogya Upa. VI. xiv. 2, “The delay in his (i.e., a Jnani's) case is only so long as his body lasts, after which he becomes one with Brahman.”
Prärabdha work-is the strong resulting impression of work done in past lives which has engendered the present body (referred to in Sloka 451 ). The other two kinds of work are the Sanchita or accumulated (mentioned in Sloka 447) and the, Agami or yet to come (mentioned in Sloka 449).
*Results &c.-The continuance of the body after realisation, and its experiences during that period can only be explained by assuming that the Prârabdha continues to work. This is further explained in the next Sloka. ]

446. Prârabdha work is acknowledged to persist so long as there is the perception of happiness and the like. Every result is preceded by an action, and nowhere is it seen to accrue independently of action.
