graha nimittam sukha-duhkhayos cet
kim atmano ’jasya janasya te vai
grahair grahasyaiva vadanti pidam
krudhyeta kasmai purusas tato ’nyah
Translation:
And if we examine the hypothesis that the planets are the immediate cause of suffering and happiness, then also where is the relationship with the soul, who is eternal? After all, the effect of the planets applies only to things that have taken birth. Expert astrologers have moreover explained how the planets are only causing pain to each other. Therefore, since the living entity is distinct from these planets and from the material body, against whom should he vent his anger?
