He enters a body), not very long after (starting from Svarga), (as it is) distinctly stated.

25. (He enters a body), not very long after (starting from Svarga), (as it is) distinctly stated.

 

“Among them (those performing Karman), those who have performed good works soon obtain some good birth here (in this world).” (Ch. V. 10.7). From this definite (specific) statement, it is settled that not long after starting, he returns to a body. “He who has begun to descend will enter the mother’s body (womb) before a year passes since starting, (though) wandering through different places.” (Naradeeya Purana).

“Those who return to this world after enjoying the good fruit of their works in Svarga are born here as rice and barley, herbs and trees, seasamum and beans.” (Ch. V. 10. 6). From this text it appears that sacrifices and other duties are after all productive of only evil consequences. To remove this objection the Sutrakara says:

26. He enters the body occupied by another soul in the manner already explained, as seen from scriptural statement.

 

There is only the entering into the body occupied by other souls, in the form of rice, etc., the experiences of that body do not pass on to this soul journeying down from Svarga (and sojourning in them). Therefore the above statements should be understood like the previous texts, viz. “Having been smoke, he becomes cloud, etc.” (Ch. V. 10.5), explained (already under Sutra 24); and in the Kausharava Shruti, this is distinctly declared. “He who has begun to go down, (first) enters into the inanimate (motionless) and, without any experience of pain or pleasure therein, continues to travel till he obtains a gross body (for himself), and (then) by means of (that) gross body he becomes subject to the experiences of pleasure and pain.” The same is said in the Varaha Purana; “The embodied soul starting downwards from Svarga goes into the body of rice, etc., belonging to other souls, and not being liable to the experiences of those bodies, in course of time (when he has regularly made his journey), obtains a gross body (of his own).”
