Doer of good deeds rejoices here and after death (DhP 15, 16)

Here he grieves, after death he grieves,

the evil-doer grieves in both places;

He grieves, he is tormented,

having seen the impurity of his own actions.

-- DhammaPada Verse 15

Here he rejoices, after death he rejoices,

the doer of good deeds rejoices in both places;

He rejoices, he delights,

having seen the purity of his own actions.

-- DhammaPada Verse 16
