The History of the Life of Ajāmila
63
bhunikte —enjoys or suffers;  tathā —in that way;  tāvat —to that extent;  amutra —in the next life;  vai —indeed.
TRANSLATION
In proportion to the extent of one's religious or irreligious actions in this life, one must enjoy or suffer the corresponding reactions of his karma in the next.
PURPORT
As stated in  Bhagavad-gītā  (14.18):
ūrdhvaṁ gacchanti sattva-sthā madhye tiṣṭhanti rājasāḥ jaghanya-guṇa-vṛtti-sthā adho gacchanti tāmasāḥ
Those who act in the mode of goodness are promoted to higher planetary systems to become demigods, those who act in an ordinary way and do not commit excessively sinful acts remain within this middle planetary system, and those who perform abominable sinful actions must go down to hellish life.
