02. Outcomes (Results) should speak volumes about Efforts (Actions) - King Dilipan was an example

तस्य संवृत-मन्त्रस्य गूढाकारेङ्गितस्य च ।
फलानुमेयाः प्रारम्भाः संस्काराः प्राक्तना इव ॥1.20॥ रघुवंशम् 

पदविभागः

तस्य संवृत-मन्त्रस्य गूढ-आकार-इङ्गितस्य च । 

फल-अनुमेयाः प्रारम्भाः संस्काराः प्राक्तनाः इव ॥

संवृत-मन्त्रस्य - one who keeps counsel or plans secret.

गूढ-आकार-इङ्गित - whose expressions and signs are hidden/controlled.

फल-अनुमेयाः प्रारम्भाः - only by seeing the results, people could guess what actions had been started.

संस्काराः प्राक्तनाः इव - like how one infers past actions from one’s cultivated habits.

Simple Meaning: Just as the actions accumulated in previous births are understood by witnessing their results in this life, similarly, the secretive plan of Raghu Dynasty King Dilipa, based on mantraalochana with his ministers, was inferred by general public only through the visible outcomes. Before the fulfillment of results, no one was capable of understanding the means by which King Dilipa achieved his objectives.

King Dilipa kept his decisions and plans secret. He didn’t show his feelings, like attachment or dislike, through his expressions. Just like the actions from past lives are known through the results in this life, people could only understand the king's work after they saw the results of his efforts.
