[RS] 2.12 Obstacles (kleshas) are the breeding ground for tendencies that give rise to actions and the consequences (karma) thereof. Such obstacles are experienced as visible or invisible obstacles.

[JW] 2.12 The latent deposit of karma has its root in the hindrances and may be felt in a birth seen or in a birth unseen.

[SS] 2.12 The womb of karmas (actions and reactions) has its root in these obstacles, and the karmas bring experiences in the seen [present] or in the unseen [future] births.  [p95]

[EB] 2.12 The stock of karma has the klesas as its root. It is experienced in present or future lives. [p195]
