Manu 12.20
यद्य् आचरति धर्मं स प्रायशो ऽअधर्मम् अल्पशः । [म्यथ-आचरति)] तैर् एव च-आवृतो) भूतैः स्वर्गे सुखम् उपाश्नुते) ॥
yady ācarati dharmaṃ sa prāyaśo 'adharmam alpaśaḥ | [M.yatha-ācarati)] tair eva ca-āvṛto) bhūtaiḥ svarge sukham upāśnute) ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
If (the soul) chiefly practises virtue and vice to a small degree, it obtains bliss in heaven, clothed with those very elements.
