"Those now who know this, and those others who practise "faith and penance (Bṛih.: Truth) in the forest, enter into the "flame, [of the funeral pyre] from the flame into the day, from "the day into the light half of the month, from the light half “of the month into the summer months [literally: into the six “months in which the sun journeys northwards], from the “months into the year, from the year into the sun (Bṛih.: the “world of the Gods), from the sun into the moon, from the “moon into the lightning—there indeed is a man, who is not “as a human being, he leads them to Brahman.” (Addition in Bṛih.: “there in the world of Brahman they dwell far, far “away.
