318 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 10, Ch. 4
tatha dehantara-prdptir
dhiras tatra na muhyati
“‘As the embodied soul continually passes, in this body, from boyhood to
youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. The
self-realized soul is not bewildered by such a change.” Irresponsible per-
sons, surcharged with passion and ignorance, foolishly do things that are
not to be done (niinam pramattah kurute vikarma). But one should know
the results of irresponsible actions, as explained in the next verse.

TRANSLATION
My dear King, when a man persecutes great souls, all his
benedictions of longevity, beauty, fame, religion, blessings and
promotion to higher planets will be destroyed.
Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Tenth Canto, Fourth
Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled ‘‘The Atrocities of King
Karnsa.”
