Translation
Makhluk hidup senantiasa berada di bawah kuasa karmanya. Dengan menjalankan karma yang baik ia memperoleh kedewataan; dengan campuran baik dan buruk ia memperoleh kelahiran sebagai manusia; dan dengan karma yang semata-mata buruk ia terlahir di rahim-rahim rendah—sebagai binatang, burung, dan sejenisnya.
