Sanskrit:

मा कदाप्यनुशोच। जीवनं जीवितुमस्ति।
mā kadāpyanuśoca. jīvanaṁ jīvitumasti.

यत्परिगच्छति तत्पुनरागच्छति।
yatparigacchati tatpunarāgacchati.

[trissa]

THANK U PC2

I FOUND THIS IN ANOTHER TOPIC:

salutations,

the expression "what goes around, comes around" has to do with karma, and is saying that when someone does bad things, bad things happen to this person, like karma: if there is a cause, there is an effect, like the laws of physics state, for every action there is an equal reaction.

so we think a good contextual Sanskrit translation for this expression could be:

पुराकर्याणि न नश्यन्ति - puraakaryaaNi na nashyanti - past actions cannot be erased.

पुराकार्याणि न नश्यंति


WHICH ONE IS THE CORRECT/BEST ONE FOR "WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND"? //CAROLINE

[pc2]

both express the same idea, but, while "yatparigacchati tatpunarāgacchati" is a litteral translation, "purākāryāṇi na naśyanti" is a paraphrase, and means "past actions cannot be erased".

its for a tattoo so "purākāryāṇi na naśyanti" is a paraphrase, and means "past actions cannot be erased". maybe is the best?
