387.2
pretyabhāvānantaraṃ phalam, tasmin ---
After rebirth comes fruit. Concerning that:
387.3
sadyaḥ kālāntare ca phalaniṣpatteḥ saṃśayaḥ ||
Because the production of fruit occurs immediately and at another time, there is doubt.
387.4
pacati dogdhīti sadyaḥ phalamodanapayasī, karṣati vapatīti kālāntare phalaṃ
When one cooks or milks, the fruit is immediate—boiled rice and milk; when one plows or sows, the fruit is at another time—
387.5
śasyādhigama iti/ asti ceyaṃ kriyā agnihotraṃ juhuyāt svargakāma iti etasyāḥ
the gathering of crops. And there is this ritual action: 'One desiring heaven should perform the agnihotra sacrifice.' Concerning the fruit of this,
387.6
phale saṃśayaḥ/ na sadyaḥ kālāntaropabhogyatvāt / svargaḥ phalaṃ śrūyate, tac ca bhinne 'smin dehabhedād utpadyate iti/ na sadyaḥ grāmādikāmānāmü@ārambhaphalam iti//44//
there is doubt: it is not immediate, because it is to be experienced at another time; heaven is taught to be the fruit, and that arises when this [present] body is broken up, through the assumption of another body. [Yet] the fruit of undertakings by those desiring a village and the like is not immediate [either]. //44
