7.19

evaṃ jiyaṃ sapehāe tuliyā bālaṃ ca paṃḍiyaṃ |
mūliyaṃ te pavesaṃti mānusaṃ joṇimeṃti je ||

Considering what is at stake, one should weigh (the chances of) the sinner and of the virtuous man (in one's mind).
He who brings back his capital, is (to be compared to) one who is born again as a man.

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