Prapya punya krutam lokan ushitva shashvatih samah I
Shuchinam shrimatam gehe yoga bhrashtah abhijayate II sloka 41
प्राप्य पुण्य कृतां लोकान् उषित्वा शाश्वतीः समाः ।
शुचीनां श्रीमतां गेहे योग भ्रष्टः अभिजायते ।। श्लोक ४१
Having attained the worlds of the righteous and having lived there for countless years, he who falls from yoga is reborn in the house of the pure and prosperous.
Bhoga - enjoyment and yoga are exclusive of each other. Where one is, the other is not. He falls from yoga, who covets bhoga. Such a fallen yogi goes to heaven and enjoys celestial pleasures for a very long time. He then takes his birth again on earth in the house of the pure and prosperous; it being conducive to secular requirements and sacred pursuits. according to the law of karma, souls reincarnate in the environments befitting their attainments.
There is another type among those who fall from yoga. His destiny is explained in the next sloka
