Sanskrit: संवत्सरो वै प्रजापतिस्तस्यायने दक्षिणं चोत्तरं च ।  तद्ये ह वै तदिष्टापूर्ते कृतमित्युपासते ते चान्द्रमसमेवलोकमभिजयन्ते ।  एव पुनरावर्तन्ते तस्मादेत ऋषयःप्रजाकामा दक्षिणं प्रतिपद्यन्ते । ष ह वै रयिर्यःपितृयाणः  
English:  9  The year, verily, is Prajapati and there arc two paths thereof: the Southern and the Northern. Those who perform sacrifices and engage in pious actions, as duties to be done, win only the World of the Moon; verily they return hither again. Therefore the rishis who desire off spring travel by the Southern Path. This Path of the Fathers is rayi, food.
