कदापि कर्मणो नाशः कदा भोगः प्रजायते॥ तस्माच्च पुनरेवं त्वं कर्म मा कर्तुमुद्यता ॥ २६॥

Some time the action is destroyed, some time the action results. That is why you have begun to perform this misdeed.

english translation

अहं कुतस्ते पुत्रोद्य त्वं माता कुत एव च॥ वृथाभिमानः पुत्रत्वे मातृत्वे च विचार्य्यताम्॥ २७॥

Whence am I your son? Whence are you my mother? This fond consciousness of sonhood and motherhood is futile. Ponder.

क्व माता क्व पिता विद्धि क्व स्वामी क्व कलत्रकम् ॥ न कोऽपि कस्य चास्तीह सर्वेपि स्वकृतं भुजः ॥ २८॥

Where is mother? Where is father? Where is husband? Where is wife? Know that none belongs to any one here. AH reap the fruits of their own actions.

एवं ज्ञात्वा त्वया मातर्दुःखं त्याज्यं सुयत्नतः ॥ सुभगाचरणं कार्यं परलोकसुखेप्सया॥ २९॥

O mother, knowing thus you cast off your misery strenuously. If there is a desire for pleasure hereafter you shall do good deeds here.
