mahabharataved-vyasanushasana-parva

Sanskrit Original

प्राणातिपाते यो रौद्रो दण्डहस्तोद्यतः सदा। नित्यमुद्यतशस्त्रश्च हन्ति भूतगणान् नरः॥ निर्दयः सर्वभूतानां नित्यमुद्वेगकारकः। अपि कीटपिपीलानामशरण्यः सुनिघृणः॥ एवंभूतो नरो देवि निरयं प्रतिपद्यते। विपरीतस्तु धर्मात्मा रूपवानभिजायते॥

One who has an opposite disposition and who is righteous in deeds, becomes born as a handsome man.
