avarohaṇīṃ ca samprāpya pūrvavadyānti mānavāḥ /
etat te sarvamākhyātaṃ yathā janturvipadyate /
ataḥ śṛṇuṣva viprarṣe yathā garbhaṃ prapadyate //

reaching a descending [birth], men fare as before. / All this has been related to you—how a creature dies; / now hear, O brahmin sage, how he enters the womb.

“This has all been declared to thee, how a living being perishes. Next listen, O Brahmarshi, how the foetus begins.”

“What happens to righteous-doers, listen while I declare that. They take the holy course decreed by Yama. Bands of Gandharvas singing, bevies of Apsarases dancing, brilliant with various celestial garlands, bedecked with strings of pearls and anklets and gay with music,[10] and heavenly chariots beyond compare go forth quickly to them. And when they descend therefrom, they are born in the family of kings and other high-souled men: there observing upright conduct, they experience vigorous[11] pleasures, and afterwards they go upwards; and otherwise, when they take the downward path, they become men as before.

Thus ends the tenth chapter in the glorious Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa, named 'Dialogue between Father and Son'.
