Adhyāya 199: Karma–Jñāna Causality and the Nirguṇa Brahman
Manu’s Instruction
एवं सोमे तथा वायौ भूम्याकाशशरीरग: । सरागस्तत्र वसति गुणांस्तेषां समाचरन्
evaṃ some tathā vāyau bhūmyākāśaśarīragaḥ | sarāgas tatra vasati guṇāṃs teṣāṃ samācaran ||
因此，诵持《三希塔》(Saṃhitā)之人，若仍与贪著（rāga）相伴，便得与月界、风界、地界及中空（antarikṣa）相应之身而往生其处。居于彼界，他仍随彼界众生之性相而行、而习——显明内在心性既决定所趣之处，亦塑成既至之后的行持。

Educational Q&A
Even meritorious practice (such as japa/recitation) yields destinations shaped by one’s inner attachment: with rāga still present, one attains various realms and continues to mirror the guṇas (dispositions) prevalent there. The verse stresses that liberation requires purification from attachment, not practice alone.
Virūpa describes the post-mortem trajectory of a practitioner: the reciter, if still passionate/attached, takes on bodies appropriate to the lunar, airy, earthly, and mid-space realms, resides in them, and behaves according to the qualities of their inhabitants—illustrating a cosmological map tied to ethical psychology.
