शुक्लकृष्णे गती ह्येते जगतः शाश्वते मते | एकया यात्यनावृत्तिमन्ययावर्तते पुनः
śuklakṛṣṇe gatī hyete jagataḥ śāśvate mate . ekayā yātyanāvṛttimanyayāvartate punaḥ
世间这两种光明与黑暗的道路，确实被认为是永恒的。通过其中一条，人走向不再返回之境；通过另一条，他则再次返回。
These two courses of the world, which are white and black, are verily considered eternal. By the one a man goes to the State of Non-return; by the other he returns again.
光明之路是奉献者通往众神之路；黑暗之路是那些为了回报而进行祭祀或慈善行为的人所走的祖先之路。这两条道路并非对所有世人开放。光明之路向奉献者开放，黑暗之路则向那些致力于仪式的人开放。这些道路与轮回（Samsara）一样永恒。这里的“世间”指的是奉献者或致力于仪式的人。祖先界（Pitriloka）或月亮界（Chandraloka）即是天界（Svarga）。
The bright path is the path to the gods taken by the devotees. The dark path is of the manes taken by those who perform sacrifices or charitable acts with the expectation of rewards. These two paths are not open to the whole world. The bright path is open to the devotees and the dark one to those who are devoted to the rituals. These paths are as eternal as the Samsara.World here means devotees or people devoted to ritual.Pitriloka or Chandraloka is Svarga or heaven.
