फलंत्यकाले न रसायनानि सम्यक्प्रयुक्तान्यपि चौषधानि ॥ तान्येव कालेन समाहृतानि सिद्धिं प्रयांत्याशु सुखं दिशंति ॥ २१ ॥

Even elixirs, panaceas and well administered medicines do not have any effect if the time is not opportune. Those very things brought into use at the proper time are efficacious and yield happiness.

No one dies or is born before time. No one flourishes well before the proper time. No one is happy or miserable before the time for it arrives. There is no object which is untimely.
