Then the Pitṛs spoke to their daughter who had fallen off from her glory on account of her transgression:—“O lady of bright smiles, you have fallen off from your glory on account of your own fault. The deities (gods) always attain (experience) the fruit of their action through those very same physical bodies with which they perform their actions. In the case of gods, actions fructify instantly and in the case of human beings they fructify after death. Hence dear daughter, you will attain the fruit of your penance after death.” On being told thus, she again pacified and propitiated the Pitṛs.
