I continued, "There is the process of rebirth and also the fruits of actions or Karmas earned by the people. Bad acts lead to bad fruits. Good deeds lead to good effects. This is the Law of Causation or Karma. It is natural and eternal. It is dynamic also. One can improve his state by good deeds. The males should think about this point and also the result of tormenting and molestation of women. The men, therefore, should behave respectfully with them. They have as much potency as the men".
On listening to my sermon, the queen Mrigavati was encouraged to get initiated. She handed over her child to the king Candapradyota and asked him to safeguard her kingdom.
I was very much pleased with the effect of my sermons on the effects of good and bad Karmas to them.
