SANVATSARO VAI PRAJAAPATISTASYAAYANE DAKSHINAM CHOTTARAM CHA | TADYE HA VAI TADISHHTAAPUURTE KRITAMITYUPAASATE TE CHAANDRAMASAMEVA LOKAMABHIJAYANTE | TA EVA PUNARAAVARTANTE TASMAADETA RISHHAYAH PRAJAAKAAMAA DAKSHINAM PRATIPADYANTE | ESHHA HA VAI RAYIRYAH PITRIYAANAH ||   The year is indeed Prajapati and there are two path s thereof: the southern and the northern. Those who follow the path of karma alone by the performance of sacrificial and pious acts obtain only the world of the moon and certainly they do return. Therefore those sages who desire offspring travel by the southern path. The matter (rayi) is verily the path of the forefathers.
