6.42 Or he is born in a family of even the wise Yogis; verily a birth like this is very difficult to obtain in this world.

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaEnglish

Or [if unsuccessful after long practice of yoga] he takes his birth in a family of transcendentalists who are surely great in wisdom. Certainly, such a birth is rare in this world.
