शुक्लकृष्णे गती ह्येते जगतः शाश्वते मते ।
एकया यात्यनावृत्तिमन्ययावर्तते पुनः
॥ ८=२६॥

śukla kṛṣṇe gatī hy ete jagataḥ śāśvate
mate ekayā yāty anāvṛttim
anyayāvartate punaḥ

According to the Vedas, there are two
ways of passing from this world: one
in the light and one in darkness. When
one passes in light, he does not return;
but when one passes in darkness, he
again comes back.
