Bhagavad Gita 14.14-15
Sanskrit
यदा सत्त्वे प्रवृद्धे तु प्रलयं याति देहभृत् । तदोत्तमविदां लोकानमलान्प्रतिपद्यते ॥14.14॥रजसि प्रलयं गत्वा कर्मसङ्गिषु जायते । तथा प्रलीनस्तमसि मूढयोनिषु जायते ॥14.15॥
Transliteration
yadā sattve pravṛddhe tu pralayaṃ yāti dehabhṛt | tadottamavidāṃ lokānamalānpratipadyate ‖14.14‖ rajasi pralayaṃ gatvā karmasaṅgiṣu jāyate | tathā pralīnastamasi mūḍhayoniṣu jāyate ‖14.15‖
Meaning
“If the embodied one meets dissolution when sattva is dominant, then one attains the stainless worlds of the knowers of the highest. Meeting dissolution in rajas, one is born among those attached to action; dissolving in tamas, one is born in the wombs of the deluded.”
