तस्मात्स्वतपसः पुत्रि प्रेत्य संप्राप्स्यसे फलम। इत्युक्तया तु पितरः पुनस्ते तु प्रसादिताः।।
tasmātsvatapasaḥ putri pretya saṃprāpsyase phalam| ityuktayā tu pitaraḥ punaste tu prasāditāḥ||
Bṛhaspati said: Thereafter, with these words (of humility), she pacified them in her low-spirited despondency. 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.
