Analysis of Tamas and its Marks
संस्कारेणोर्ध्वमायान्ति यतमाना: सलोकताम् | स्वर्गे गच्छन्ति देवानामित्येषा वैदिकी श्रुति:
saṃskāreṇordhvam āyānti yatamānāḥ salokatām | svarge gacchanti devānām ity eṣā vaidikī śrutiḥ |
Wika ni Vāyu: “Sa lakas ng mabubuting bakas (saṃskāra), ang mga nagsisikap ay umaangat at nakakamtan ang kaparehong daigdig (ng mga matuwid). Sila’y napaparoon sa langit ng mga diyos—ito ang aral ng Veda.”

Educational Q&A
Moral causality is not finalistic: after the results of sinful actions are exhausted, earlier merit and virtuous saṃskāras can reassert themselves. With renewed effort, a being can rise to higher births and ultimately attain the gods’ heaven; this is presented as Vedic śruti.
Vāyu is instructing the listener about the post-mortem trajectory of beings: striving souls, supported by wholesome saṃskāras, ascend to higher realms and reach Svarga. The surrounding explanation clarifies how even those in adverse births can return to virtuous lineages and progress upward again.
