प्रवृद्धजनैरजिते द्रव्यजाते, प्रपौत्रा यथा स्वत्ववादं वदन्ति । भवानन्त्यसंयोजिते पापकार्ये, विना सुव्रतं नश्यति स्वीयता नो ॥५१॥
Meaning :- The Soul is liable to incur the effect of the sins as its connection with them is not cut off and so long as it has not accepted the performances of vows, giving up vowlessness and so long as it has not given up mentally, verbally, and physically the abodes of sins and sinful activities, even though it may not have now direct contact with the sins and instruments of sins which it has committed and created in course of infinite previous births just as the grandsons who have never seen their forefathers and who have never taken any part in the activity to obtain money from them, get it by way of inheritance or get the interest of the wealth deposited by their forefathers in the banks.
