Transliteration

śubhānuśayabuddhir hi saṁyuktaḥ kāladharmaṇā | prādurbhavati tad-yogāt kalyāṇamatir eva saḥ ||

Translation

Vaiśampāyana said: One whose mind is habitually inclined toward the good, when joined with the law of time (i.e., at the moment of death), is reborn through that very association with a wholesome and auspicious disposition. The ethical force of one’s settled tendencies thus carries forward beyond death into the next arising of consciousness.
