25).
But in 21.

4-6 there occurs the following statement: 'To be an outcast is to be deprived of the works of the twice-born, and hereafter to be deprived of happiness; this some (call) hell.' It is evident here that the expression _asiddhis_ (deprivation of success or happiness) is placed optionally beside _naraka_ (hell) as the view of one set of theologians compared with that of another; 'lack of obtaining success, _i.e_., reward' stands parallel to 'hell.' In the same chapter, where Manu says that he who assaults a Brahman "obtains hell for one hundred years" (M.xi.

207), Gautama (21.

20) says "for one hundred years, lack of heaven" (_asvargyam_), which may mean hell or the deprivation of the result of merit, _i.e_., one hundred years will be deducted from his heavenly life.

In this case not a new and better birth but heaven is assumed to be the reward of good acts.
