6. As here on earth the world which is won by work (_karma-jita loka_) becomes destroyed, even so there the world which is won by merit (_puṇya-jita loka_) becomes destroyed.

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads

Those who go hence without here having found the Soul (Ātman) and those real desires (_satya kāma_)—for them in all the worlds there is no freedom. But those who go hence having found here the Soul and those real desires—for them in all worlds there is freedom.

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads
