तथा प्रलीनः तमसि मूढ योनिषु जायते ॥ १५ ॥
tathA pralInaH tamasi mUDha yoniSu jAyate || 15 ||
तथा
[tathA]
Similarly, प्रलीनः
[pralInaH]
a person who dies तमसि
[tamasi]
in
tamas जायते
[jAyate]
is born मूध योनिशु
[mUdha yonizu]
in a womb that brings ignorance.
Similarly, a person who dies with tamas being predominant is born in ignorance - he is born in the womb of a dog or a pig for instance. In such a birth, he is unable to pursue any of the four goals - righteousness, wealth, desire or liberation .
