Manu 12.40
देवत्वं सात्त्विका यान्ति) मनुष्यत्वं च राजसाः । तिर्यक्त्वं तामसा नित्यम् इत्य् एषा त्रिविधा गतिः ॥
devatvaṃ sāttvikā yānti) manuṣyatvaṃ ca rājasāḥ | tiryaktvaṃ tāmasā nityam ity eṣā trividhā gatiḥ ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Those endowed with Goodness reach the state of gods, those endowed with Activity the state of men, and those endowed with Darkness ever sink to the condition of beasts; that is the threefold course of transmigrations.
