Sūtra translation
Though there may be doubt arising [as to who (which Vayu.) i8 reached at first from the statements that Vayu is reached in am early stage as well as in a later stage, the earlier Vayu is the Ativahika Vayu and the later is the Chief], on ac- count of this being established by the specific attribute to the later one.
In the beginning the reaching of Vayu (stage) is spoken of thus; " He goes to Vayu ” (Bri. Vll.-io-i); and also at the end it is spoken of thus in the Sruti: “ The de- parted wise on his passage to the perfect Lord finally goes only to Vidyut. Vidyut is indeed Dyaus (Bharati). Then he goes to her lord Vayu and only by him he reaches Brahman.” The doubt arising thus, whether Vayu mentioned in the beginning is the Ativahika or Vayu mentioned at the end or whether the Ativahika is the Chief (Vayu', the specific attribute (the Lord of Vidyut) given to Vayu mentioned later on forces the conclusion that the earlier Vayu is only the Ativahika, (and not the chief Vayu). Accordingly the Brahma Tarka says ; “ He that has de- parted from his body first goes to Light only, then to the son of (the chief) Vayu who is Ativahika by name, then to the Day, to the bright (first) half of the month, to the Northern progress, to the Year, to Lightning, to Varuna, to Prajapati, to the Sun, to the Moon, to Vaisvanara, to Indra, to Dhruva, to (the goddess) Bharati and then to the chief Vayu in due order, and by him (Vayu) he reaches (is led to the presence of) the Lord of lords.”
