Patañjali Yoga Sūtra 4.8
ततस्तद्विपाकानुगुणानामेवाभिव्यक्तिर्वासनानाम् ||8||
From this [threefold karma] (tataḥ), there is only (eva) the manifestation (abhivyaktiḥ | nom sg) of those Vāsanās (vāsanānām | gen pl) which correspond to the fruition of that [karma] (tad-vipākānuguṇānām | gen pl).
Not every conditioning (vāsanā) appears at all times. Whatever can ripen under present conditions (vipāka) comes forward—and you can meet it with awareness.
From the threefold karma of other beings, only those vāsanā that correspond to its particular vipāka become manifest. When karma for a divine birth ripens, for example, it cannot manifest hellish, animal, or human vāsanās; the same applies to the other kinds of birth.
Therefrom (results) manifestation of those mental deposits alone which are conformable to its fructification.
Thence is the manifestation of the impressions or residua which are suitable to its fruition.
Aus diesen [guten, bösen und gemischten Werken] geht nur eine solche Manifestation der Werkresiduen [im neuen Dasein] hervor, wie sie der Heranreifung jener [Werke in einer früheren Geburt] entspricht.
As a result of this there follows the manifestation of those subconscious-impressions only which correspond to the fruition of their [karma].
