Sūtra translation
Then the lighting up of the top of His abode takes place; and by the path so lighted up the Giva departs by virtue of his knowledge (wisdom) as well as with the help of the memory of the path resulting from (forming part of) th/d (knowledge), and by the grace of Him that dicells in the heart, issues out by the Uadi which is in eecess of the hun/lred.
At the time of departing, the top of the heart (of the wise) becomes lighted up; for the Sruti says: “ Indeed of him (the departing wise), the point of the heart be- comes lighted up'’ (Bri. VI. 4-2). The wise Giva goes out by the Nadi (vein) so lighted with the power obtained by the sight of the Lord, and also by virtue of the re- membrance of the path to be travelled resulting from the knowledge of Brahman, which fact is conveyed by the following Smriti: “ Remembering whatever form of being he leaves this body at the end, into that form he enters, being impressed with it through his constant meditation of the same form.” (Gita VIII. 6). There is also the indication of such remembrance leading to the next form of being, (i.e., state or birth) in the text: “ But the preceptor will tell thee of thy path ” (Ch. IV. 14.1). And in the Adhyatma the following is said : “ Along with Hari seated in the heart, and only by means of His grace, the passing upwards through Brahma Nadi takes place in the case of those who are devoted to meditating on Him only.” “ There are a hundred and one veins of the heart j one of them reaches to the crown of the head ; through that, passing upwards (the Giva) reaches im- mortality ; the others serve for the departing (of other souls) in different directions (to other worlds)” (Kath. II. 6.16).
