Madhvaon Brahma Sūtra 4.1.19

Having by actual experience exhausted the conse- quences (♦.«., fruits) of both good and evil works which have begun to bear their fruits, he attains to Brahman. The term ‘ then * shows the invariable rule (that only after the reduction of these two sets of works, he attains to Brahman, and after that reduction there is nothing to delay the attainment). And this is said in the following text: “ When the individual has spent out the conse- quences of the two sets of works that have begun to yield fruits, he is sure to attain to Brahman or go to the hell of darkness, and there is no occasion for doubt here. The decaying of both the series of Prarabdha works invariably begins even at the distance of the period of a hundred Brahmas and this is a fact beyond question.”
