Sanskrit: स्त्रोतसा नीयते दारु यथा निम्नोन्नतस्थलम् । वेन नीयते देहो यथाकालोपभुक्तिषु 
English:  As a piece of wood is drifted on to a high or low ground by the current, so is his body carried on by the momentum of past actions to the varied experience of their fruits, as these present themselves in due course.
