सोपक्रमं निरुपक्रमं च कर्म तत्संयमातपरान्तज्ञानम् अरिष्टेभ्यो वा ॥२२॥
sopa-kramaṁ nirupa-kramaṁ ca karma tatsaṁyamāt-aparāntajñānam ariṣṭebhyo vā ||22||


[RS] 3.22 Meditation (samyama) on foreseeable and unforeseeable causes and causal relationships (karma) gives rise to knowledge (jnana) concerning fate.

[JW] 3.22 Advancing and not-advancing is karma, as a result of constraint upon this [two-fold karma] or from the signs of death [there arises an intuitive] knowledge of the latter end.

[SS] 3.22 In the same way, the disappearance of sound [touch, taste, smell, etc.] is explained. [p186]
[SS] 3.23 Karmas are of two kinds: quickly manifesting and slowly manifesting. By samyama on them, or on the portents of death, the knowledge of the time of death is obtained. [p187]

[EB] 3.22 Karma is ether quick to fructify or slow. By samyama on karma, or on portents, knowledge of [one's] death arises. [p348]
