शुक्लकृष्णे गती ह्येते जगतः शाश्वते मते | एकया यात्यनावृत्तिमन्ययावर्तते पुनः

世間這兩條光明與黑暗之道，確然被視為永恆。循其一者，得證不復返之境；循其二者，則再次復返。
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.
光明之道是虔信者所行，通往諸神之境。黑暗之道是那些為求回報而舉行祭祀或慈善行為者所行，通往祖先之境。這兩條道路並非對整個世界開放。光明之道向虔信者開放，黑暗之道則向致力於儀式者開放。這些道路與輪迴（Samsara）一樣永恆。此處的「世間」意指虔信者或致力於儀式的人們。祖先界（Pitriloka）或月界（Chandraloka）即是天堂（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.
