Having gone to dissolution in passion (rajas), he is born among those attached to action (karma). Likewise, dissolved in darkness (tamas), he is born in the wombs of the deluded.
When he dies in passion, he is born among lovers of action; so when he dies in dark inertia, he is born into wombs of folly.
(15) [Another] goes to his demise when Passion [predominates]; he will he born among such men as cling to works: and as to him who dies when Darkness [has the upper hand], he will be born in the wombs of deluded fools.
14.15 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.
14.15 (a) Meeting with dissolution when Rajas is prevalent, one is born among those attached to work... (b) Similarly, one who has met with dissolution when Tamas prevails, is born in the womb of beings lacking in intelligence.
14.15 Meeting death in Rajas, he is born among those who are attached to action; and dying in Tamas, he is born in the womb of the senseless.
