vyasanasya ca mṛtyoś ca vyasanaṃ kaṣṭam ucyate
vyasany adho 'dho vrajati svar yāty avyasanī mṛtaḥ //

(On a comparison) between vice and death, vice is declared to be more pernicious; a vicious man sinks to the nethermost (hell), he who dies, free from vice, ascends to heaven.

Georg Bühler 1886, The Laws of Manu
