10. Those who remain mindful of their duties, and are employed in discharge of them in this state of life; are said by the wise to be entitled to their liberation, soon after their demise.
11. Those among the Rájashi—gentility, whose acts are commensurate with those of gentlemen and the nobility, are included in the eighth class, and are called Rája Sátwiki—or noble gentlemen; and are entitled to their liberation after a few births on earth.
12. The ninth class comprises the rája-rájashi or right gentlemen, whose actions conform with their title, and who obtain their long longed-for liberation, after a course of hundred births in the same state.
13. The next or tenth class is composed of the rájatámasí or blinded gentry, who act foolishly under their infatuation; and who are uncertain of their liberation, even after a thousand births.
14. The most giddy of this class is called atyanta-rája-tamashi, or the excessively infatuated gentry, whose conduct in life correspond with their name, and whose transmigration does not cease at any time.
15. Then the lower classes comprise the children of darkness or ignorance—tamas; of whom the támasas form the eleventh grade, and are said to be deprived of their liberation forever more. (These are the Rákshasas and demons of various orders).
16. There have been a few however among them, who have obtained their salvation by means of their divine knowledge, and their good acts during their life time (such as Prahláda, the son of a demon, and Karkotaka—the son of a Nága).
17. Next follows the twelfth order of támasa-rájasa, who combine in them the qualities of darkness and enlightenment, and who are liberated after a thousand births in their former demoniac state, and one hundred births in their progressive improvements.
18. Then comes the thirteenth order of támas-támasi or those in darkest darkness, who have to transmigrate for millions of years both in their prior and later births, before they can have their liberation from the bondage of body.
19. Last comes the fourteenth order of beings, who continue in their state of gross ignorance (atyanta—támasí) forever, and it is doubted whether they can have their liberation at all.
