Traividyaa maam somapaah pootapaapaa
Yajnairishtwaa swargatim praarthayante;
Te punyamaasaadya surendralokaMashnanti
divyaan divi devabhogaan.

20. The knowers of the three Vedas, the drinkers of Soma, purified of all sins, worshipping
Me by sacrifices, pray for the way to heaven; they reach the holy world of the Lord of the gods and
enjoy in heaven the divine pleasures of the gods.

Te tam bhuktwaa swargalokam vishaalam
Ksheene punye martyalokam vishanti;
Evam trayeedharmamanuprapannaa
Gataagatam kaamakaamaa labhante.

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