iḍḍhī juī jaso vaṇṇo | āuṃ suham aṇuttaraṃ /
bhujjo jattha maṇussesu | tattha se uvavajjaī ||27||

He will be born among men where there is wealth, beauty, glory, fame, long life, and eminent happiness. (27)
See the folly of the sinner who practises unrighteousness: turning away from the Law, the great sinner will be born in hell. (28)
See the wisdom of the wise man who follows the true Law: turning away from unrighteousness, the virtuous man will be born as a god. (29)
A wise man weighs in his mind the state of the sinner and that of the virtuous man; quitting the state of the sinner, a sage realises that of the virtuous. (30)
Thus I say.

Hermann Jacobi 1895, Uttarâdhyayana Sûtra (Gaina Sûtras II, SBE 45)
