-----------------------------------------------------
Slokam-15.
"Rajasi pralayam gatva karmasangishu jayate,
tatha pralinas tamasi muddhhayonishu jayate.:
---------------------------------------------------------
Slokam -Translation.
When one dies in the mode of passion, he takes birth among those engaged in fruitive activities; and when he dies in the mode of ignorance, he takes birth in the animal kingdom.
------------------------------------------------------------
Rajasi ( pravrdhe ) = on the fully developed rajo-gunam ( in passion );
pralayam gatva = if one dies, ( that jivatma );
karma - sangishu = in the association of fruitive activities;
jayate = takes birth ( to fulfil his passion );
tatha = thus, thereafter;
tamasi = on the fully developed tamo-gunam ( in ignorance );
pralinas = if one dies, ( he/she )
muddhha - yonishu = in the animal kingdom;
jayate = takes birth ( to live his ignorant live ).
---------------------------------------------------------
Discourse :
1.
Now Lord Krishna describes that when a jiva or embodied being dies while in raja guna or the mode of passion one takes birth among those who perform activities out of desire for rewards and having been born as such will endeavour mightily to accomplish works that would be rewarded by immense wealth and power even up unto the heavenly spheres. Similarly if one dies while under the influnce of tama guna or the mode of ignorance then such jivas will be born from the wombs of animals such as pigs and dogs where one would be completely incapacitated to perform any activity that would give any spiritual benefit.
2.
Continuing Lord Krishna explains the result of raja guna or mode of passion being prredominant at the time of death is that the jiva or embodied being is born into families that are are involved in vigorous activity, Likewise the result of tama guna or mode of ignorance being predominant at the moment of death then the jiva is born in the wombs of irrational species as animals.
3.
Some people have the impression that when the soul reaches the platform of human life, it never goes down again. This is incorrect. According to this slokam, if one develops the mode of ignorance, after his death he is degraded to the animal form of life. From there one has to again elevate himself, by evolutionary process, to come again to the human form of life. Therefore, those who are actually serious about human life should take to the mode of goodness and in good association transcend the modes and become situated in Krishna consciousness. This is the aim of human life. Otherwise, there is no guarantee that the human being will again attain to the human status.
4.
Lord Krishna states that if death comes upon a jiva or embodied being while predisposed to raja guna or the mode of passion then one takes birth next from those who are obsessed to perform actions in anticipation of rewards . Also a jiva dying while under the influence of tama guna or mode of ignorance is forced to take birth as an animal in the next life.
