From ignorance do the Asuras become subject (to death); and from the reverse of ignorance do they attain to the conditions of Brahma. Death does not destroy animals like a tiger; its shape cannot be known.
प्रमादाद् वै असुराः पराभवनप्रमादाद ब्रह्मभूताः भवन्ति। नैव मृत्युर्व्याघ्र इवात्ति जन्तून् न ह्यस्य रूपमुपलभ्यते हि॥
