Sarasvatī–Tārkṣya Saṃvāda: Agnihotra-vidhi, Dāna-phala, and Mokṣa-prasaṅga (सरस्वती–तार्क्ष्यसंवादः)
अशुभै: कर्मभि: पापास्तिर्यड्निरयगामिन: । संसारेषु विचित्रेषु पच्यमाना: पुनःपुन:,वे पापपरायण हो अपने अशुभ कर्मोंके फलस्वरूप पशु-पक्षी आदिकी योनियोंमें जाने और नरकमें गिरने लगे। विचित्र सांसारिक योनियोंमें बारंबार जन्म लेकर दुःखसे संतप्त होने लगे
By unwholesome deeds they became sinners; and as the fruit of those evil acts they fell into births among beasts, birds, and other such wombs, and they also sank into hell. Reborn again and again in the manifold courses of saṃsāra, they were repeatedly scorched by suffering.
