Having set out on the path of yoga, the renouncer, by force of that, reaches and dwells in the worlds of those who have done meritorious deeds, those who have performed the horse-sacrifice and the like; and having dwelt there, having enjoyed his sojourn for everlasting, unending years, then, when that enjoyment is spent, the one fallen from yoga is born in the house, the home, of the pure, those who act as enjoined, the prosperous, the ones rich in fortune.

This man, fallen from the discipline through the longing for an enjoyment of a certain kind, having reached the worlds that the doers of great merit attain, enjoying there the supremely blessed enjoyments of that kind, by the very greatness of the discipline that is the means to knowledge, dwelling there everlasting years until the close of his thirst for that enjoyment, and his thirst for that enjoyment gone, is born, by the greatness of the discipline, in a family of the pure and the prosperous who are fit for the undertaking of the discipline, if he has fallen at the undertaking of the discipline.
