15-18*17:

Here     he grieves
        he grieves     hereafter.
In both worlds
the wrong-doer grieves.
He grieves, he's afflicted,
seeing the corruption
    of his deeds.

Here     he rejoices
        he rejoices     hereafter.
In both worlds
the merit-maker rejoices.
He rejoices, is jubilant,
seeing the purity
    of his deeds.

Here     he's tormented
        he's tormented     hereafter.
In both worlds
the wrong-doer's tormented.
He's tormented at the thought,
    'I've done wrong.'
Having gone to a bad destination,
he's tormented
    all the more.

Here     he delights
        he delights     hereafter.
In both worlds
the merit-maker delights.
He delights at the thought,
    'I've made merit.'
Having gone to a good destination,
he delights
    all the more.

 




17 -18: "Destination" in these two verses and throughout the text means one's destination after death.
