Let him reflect on the transmigrations of men, caused by their sinful deeds, on their falling into hell, and on the torments in the world of Yama, On the separation from their dear ones, on their union with hated men, on their being overpowered by age and being tormented with diseases, On the departure of the individual soul from this body and its new birth in (another) womb, and on its wanderings through ten thousand millions of existences,

(The Law of Manu)
