CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 5.10.7

तद् य इह रमणीयचरणा अभ्याशो ह यत् ते रमणीयां योनिम् आपद्येरन् ब्राह्मणयोनिं वा क्षत्रिययोनिं वा वैश्ययोनिं वा ।
अथ य इह कपूयचरणा अभ्याशो ह यत् ते कपूयां योनिम् आपद्येरञ् श्वयोनिम् वा सूकरयोनिं वा चण्डालयोनिं वा ॥

tad ya iha ramaṇīyacaraṇā abhyāśo ha yat te ramaṇīyāṃ yonim āpadyeran brāhmaṇayoniṃ vā kṣatriyayoniṃ vā vaiśyayoniṃ vā ।
atha ya iha kapūyacaraṇā abhyāśo ha yat te kapūyāṃ yonim āpadyerañ śvayonim vā sūkarayoniṃ vā caṇḍālayoniṃ vā ॥

'Those whose conduct has been good, will quickly attain some good birth, the birth of a Brâhmana, or a Kshatriya, or a Vaisya. But those whose conduct has been evil, will quickly attain an evil birth, the birth of a dog, or a hog, or a Kandâla.

F. Max Müller · The Upanishads, Sacred Books of the East 1 (1879)
