Attaining to the lunar light by smoke, night time, the dark fortnight also, the six months of the southern path of the sun (the southern solstice), the Yogi returns.

Smoke, night, the dark half of the month, the six months of the sun's southern course: departing then, the yogi reaches the light of the moon and returns.

The second path is marked by smoke, night, the dark half of the month and the six months of the sun's southward course. The yogi who departs by this path reaches the light of the moon and then returns. The moon here is associated with the realm of ancestors and with the rewards of ritual merit, which are enjoyed for a time before rebirth. The contrast with the previous verse is clear: smoke instead of fire, reflected moonlight instead of direct sunlight, return instead of release.
