Verse 7.206.16

किं तत्स्यात्सहकारीणि कारणान्यथ कानि वा ।
धर्माधर्मावमूर्तौ द्वौ तस्यामूर्तस्य मूर्तता ॥ १६ ॥

kiṃ tatsyātsahakārīṇi kāraṇānyatha kāni vā |
dharmādharmāvamūrtau dvau tasyāmūrtasya mūrtatā || 16 ||

What are the accompanying causes of the regeneration of bodies, after their destruction on death? The virtues and vices of departed souls, being both of them formless things, cannot be their accompanying causes, towards the formation of their corporeal frames.
