When the Purusha becomes endued with only Sattva, he aquires the region of the gods. Endued with both Sattva and Rajas, he is born as a man. Endued with Rajas and Tamas, he is born the intermediate order of Being. Endued with all three, viz., Sattva and Rajas and Tamas, he becomes a man.
अव्यक्तः सत्त्वसंयुक्तो देवलोकमवाप्नुयात्॥ रजःसत्त्वसमायुक्तो मानुषेषु प्रपद्यते। रजस्तमोभ्यां संयुक्तस्तिर्यग्योनिषु जायते॥ राजसैस्तामसैः सत्त्वैर्युक्तो मानुषमाप्नुयात्।
