viśvāsahantā ca naro mīnayonau prajāyate /
dhānyaṃ yavāṃstilān māṣān kulatthān sarṣapāṃścaṇān //

“He who carries away a deposit is born a worm on his release from hell. And the detracter when released from hell becomes a Rākṣasa. And the man who destroys trust is born a fish.

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa

“For carrying off through folly paddy, barley, sesamum[4] seed, māṣ beans,[5] kulattha beans,[6] mustard-seed,[7] chickpeas,[8] beans,[9] āman rice,[10] mudga beans,[11] wheat and flax, or other crops, a man void of understanding is born a large-mouthed rat resembling an ichneumon.

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa
