Note 24 — Chapter IV · WORSHIP OF ANCESTORS AND SAINTS.
Reading edition
A vāsanā is the outcome of a person’s good or bad actions. It is not the last desire of a man as supposed by some, but the result of his good or bad actions or rather of the workings of his mind during life. It is believed that, if at the moment of death, a man’s mind is fixed on the strong attachment he feels for his children, he is born as a descendant of his offspring.—The School Master of Dhānk. ↑
