Sudden death seizes those that are sceptical of the force of moral law, that are vicious and are the enemies of Gods and Brahmins, that filch other people's goods, that are a source of dread to all, that are fools and turn informers, that have abandoned their duties and traditional observances, that live by sinful courses, and those that would not out of folly abide by the ordinances of the sacred scriptures. Those that know the sacred sciences regard the Ayus prescribed as applicable to people other than those that have been declared liable to untimely death.
