Chapter 7 - Low-born And High-born

If a certain man or woman being proud, does not pay respect or homage to whom respect is due, as a result of this evil deed, he or she will be born in Hell (Niraya). If born again in the human abode, such a person will be born in a low family. But if one, not being proud of oneself, shows respect to whom respect is due, one will be born in a happy celestial (Deva) plane; if one comes to be born as a human being one will be born in a high family.
