3.20.36

svavaśo'yaṃ na jīvo'sti svakarmavaśagaḥ sadā |
tatkarma trividhaṃ proktaṃ vidvadbhistattvadarśibhiḥ ||

No soul is independent; every one is under the effects of one’s own Karma. The Pundits that have realised the Truth, say that Karma is of three kinds, Accumulated, Present, and Prârabdha? This whole world is due to Kâla (Time), Karma (action) and Svabhâva (Nature); unless the proper time comes, even the Devas cannot kill men. The men are killed on account of some cause, immediate; but the Great Time is the real Destroyer.

Swami Vijnanananda 1921, The Sri Mad Devi Bhagavatam
