tadye ha sma purā vājapeyena yajante | etāṃ ha smaivordhvā diśamutkrāmanti tata aupāvinaiva jānaśruteyena pratyavarūḍhaṃ tato 'rvācīnam pratyavarohanti

Thus they who of old used to offer the Vâgapeya, ascended to that upper region. From there Aupâvi Gânasruteya descended again: thenceforward (all men) descend again.
