They, having enjoyed the vast heaven, enter the world of mortals when their merit is exhausted; thus abiding by the injunctions of the ï1threeï1 (Vedas) and desiring (objects of) desires, they attain to the state of going and returning.

Having enjoyed that vast world of heaven, when their merit is spent they enter the world of mortals. So, following the dharma of the three Vedas and desiring desires, they obtain coming and going.

After enjoying the vast heavenly world, when their merit is used up, these ritualists return to the world of mortals. Following the dharma of the three Vedas and desiring pleasures, they obtain only coming and going, gatāgata. The verse is not a rejection of the Veda, but a warning about seeking its rewards as final ends. Heaven is a temporary stay, paid for by merit that runs out. The phrase desiring desires captures the restlessness of a life that always seeks the next enjoyment.
