1.5.16
atha trayo vāva lokā manuṣyalokaḥ pitṛloko devaloka iti so'yaṃ manuṣyalokaḥ putreṇaiva jayyo nānyena karmaṇākarmaṇā pitṛloko vidyayā devaloko devaloko vai lokānām̐ śreṣṭhastasmādvidyāṃ praśam̐santi
There are indeed three worlds, the world of men, the world of the Manes and the world of the gods. This world of men is to be won through the son alone, and by no other rite; the world of the Manes through rites; and the world of the gods through meditation. The world of the gods is the best of the worlds. Therefore they praise meditation.
