Whatever good a living person does, that reaches the breaths; and whatever evil \[he does\], that \[reaches\] the body. When he who knows thus departs from this world, his good deed ascends with his breath, \[and\] his evil deed is abandoned with the body. Regarding this, they say: 'It is indeed poorly understood when someone endowed with mortality dwells with an evil deed. But he who, while living, separates himself by this \[knowledge\]—that is well understood.' That, indeed, is attained by this very fire-offering. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 0.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.0.14) - [Next: 0.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.0.16) - [Up: 0](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.0) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.0.15) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.0.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.0.15) · Pramāṇa
