रजसि प्रलयं गत्वा कर्मसङ्गिषु जायते | तथा प्रलीनस्तमसि मूढयोनिषु जायते
rajasi pralayaṃ gatvā karmasaṅgiṣu jāyate . tathā pralīnastamasi mūḍhayoniṣu jāyate
當羅闍(Rajas)佔主導時死亡,他便投生於執著於行動的人們之中。同樣地,當答磨(Tamas)佔主導時死亡,他便投生於愚昧的物種之中。
When one dies while rajas predominates, he is born among people attached to activity. Similarly, when one dies while tamas predominates, he takes birth among the stupid species.
在羅闍(Rajas)中遭遇死亡:如果他在羅闍(Rajas)佔主導時死去,他將投生於執著於行動的人類之中。如果他在答磨(Tamas)完全佔主導時死去,他將投生於無知的物種,如牛、鳥、野獸或昆蟲。他可能投生於遲鈍愚笨或最低等的人類之中,不一定會投生為動物之身。這是某些人的觀點。
Meeting with death in Rajas If he dies when Rajas is predominant in him? he is born among men who are attached to action. If he dies when Tamas is fully predominant in him? he takes birth in ignorant species such as cattle? birds? beasts or insects.He may take his birth amongst the dull and the stupid or the lowest grades of human beings. He need not take the body of an animal. This is the view of some persons.
