बीजांशश्चैव वृद्ध्यंशो भोगांशः पुण्यपापयोः । ज्ञाननाश्यो हि बीजांशो वृद्धिरुक्तप्रकारतः ४१ ।

sanskrit

Both Merit and Demerit have three aspects:—the seed stage, flourishing stage and the enjoyment stage. If they are in the seed stage they can be quelled by perfect knowledge. If they are in the flourishing stage they can be quelled in the manner described before.

भोगांशो भोगनाश्यस्तु नान्यथा पुण्यकोटिभिः । बीजप्ररोहे नष्टे तु शेषो भोगाय कल्पते ४२ ।

sanskrit

If they are in the enjoyment stage they get destroyed only by enjoying and experiencing their fruits and not otherwise though one might have performed crores of meritorious deeds. If the seed or the flourishing seedlings are destroyed what remains must be experienced and wiped off.

देवानां पूजया चैव ब्रह्मणानां च दानतः । तपोधिक्याच्च कालेन भोगः सह्यो भवेन्नृणाम् । तस्मात्पापमकृत्वैव वस्तव्यं सुखमिच्छता ४३।

sanskrit

If one regularly performs worship of gods, makes gifts to brahmins and performs sufficient penance, the enjoyment becomes bearable. Hence those who wish for happiness must refrain from committing sins.
