27.p3

api ca: karmaṇā niyamito janaḥ kiṃ kaṣṭaṃ na prāpnoti? tathā co 'ktam:

Moreover, if a man is opprest by (the result of his own previous) deeds, what misery does he not suffer? And thus it is said: 5. Homage be to Deed [karma], which like a potter holds Brahmā fast in the pot of the universe; which has thrown Viṣṇu into a very strict confinement, from which he cannot escape because of his ten incarnations; which makes Çiva go a-begging with a skull in the hollow of his hand; and which causes the sun to wander eternally in the sky."
