5.10.3

atha ya ime grāma iṣṭāpūrte dattam ity upāsate \
te dhūmam abhisaṃbhavanti \
dhūmād rātrim \
rātrer aparapakṣam \
aparapakṣād yān ṣaḍ dakṣiṇaiti māsāṃs tān \
naite saṃvatsaram abhiprāpnuvanti \\510.3\

3. But those who in the village reverence a belief in sacrifice, merit, and almsgiving—they pass into the smoke; from the smoke, into the night; from the night, into the latter half of the month; from the latter half of the month, into the six months during which the sun moves southward—these do not reach the year; from those months, into the world of the fathers; from the world of the fathers, into space; from space, into the moon. That is King Soma. That is the food of the gods. The gods eat that.

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads
