«    Bhagavad-gītā 14.15    »

rajasi pralayaḿ gatvā
karma-sańgiṣu jāyate
tathā pralīnas tamasi
mūḍha-yoniṣu jāyate

rajasi — in passion; pralayam — dissolution; gatvā — attaining; karma-sańgiṣu — in the association of those engaged in fruitive activities; jāyate — takes birth; tathā — similarly; pralīnaḥ — being dissolved; tamasi — in ignorance; mūḍha-yoniṣu — in animal species; jāyate — takes birth.

When one dies in the mode of passion, he takes birth among those engaged in fruitive activities; and when one dies in the mode of ignorance, he takes birth in the animal kingdom.
