praptam dharmaphalam tavad bhavata natra sanshayah
phalam asyapy-adharmasya kshipram eva prapatsyase
प्राप्तं धर्मफलं तावद्भवता नात्र संशयः।
फलमस्याप्यधर्मस्य क्षिप्रमेव प्रपत्स्यसे॥
You have already enjoyed the fruit of your good deeds, no doubt about it. Now you will soon receive the fruit of this wrong as well.
What it means
Ravana's earlier austerities gave him great power, but that account is spent. Success today is not a guarantee against tomorrow's consequences. Keep earning goodwill; don't live off old savings.हिंदी में अर्थ
तुम अपने पुण्य का फल तो पा चुके हो, इसमें कोई संदेह नहीं। अब इस अधर्म का फल भी तुम्हें जल्दी मिलेगा।
रावण की पुरानी तपस्या ने उसे बड़ी शक्ति दी, पर वह खाता ख़र्च हो चुका। आज की सफलता कल के परिणामों से नहीं बचाती। भलाई कमाते रहिए।
Spoken by Hanuman.
