अधर्मेण समायुक्तो यमस्य विषयं गत: । महद् दुःखं समासाद्य तिर्यग्योनौ प्रजायते,अधर्मपरायण मनुष्य यमलोकमें जाता है और वहाँ महान् दुःख भोगकर यहाँ पशु- पक्षियोंकी योनिमें जन्म लेता है

Translation
যুধিষ্ঠির বললেন—যে মানুষ অধর্মে যুক্ত থাকে, সে যমের অধিকারভূমিতে যায়। সেখানে মহাদুঃখ ভোগ করে সে এখানে পশু-পাখির যোনিতে জন্ম লাভ করে।
