धर्माधर्मनिमित्तेन सद्यो जायन्ति मूर्त्तयः। उपभोगार्थमुत्पत्तिरौपपत्तिककर्मतः।।
dharmādharmanimittena sadyo jāyanti mūrttayaḥ| upabhogārthamutpattiraupapattikakarmataḥ||
Vāyu said: The tortures that the Naraka-dwellers are subjected to are declared to be innumerable. There, the misery is experienced by them. When their Karman is almost exhausted they are born of animal wombs due to the residue of their Karmans. The Devas and the Naraka-dwellers are stationed above and below. Their physical bodies are evolved suddenly on account of Dharma and Adharma (Merits and Sins) for the sake of Upabhoga (experiencing happiness and sorrow). The sorrow is experienced due to the relevant Karman.
