।।8.25।।जिस मार्गमें धूमका अधिपति देवता रात्रिका अधिपति देवता कृष्णपक्षका अधिपति देवता और छः महीनोंवाले दक्षिणायनका अधिपति देवता है शरीर छोड़कर उस मार्गसे गया हुआ योगी (सकाम मनुष्य) चन्द्रमाकी ज्योतिको प्राप्त होकर लौट आता है अर्थात् जन्ममरणको प्राप्त होता है।


English Translation of Sanskrit Commentary By Sri Shankaracharya's
8.25 Dhuman, smoke; and ratrih night, are the deities presiding over smoke and night. Similarly, krsnah, the dark fornight, means the deity of the dark fortnight. Just as before, by sanmasah daksinayanam the six months of the Southern solstice, also is verily meant a deity. Tatra, following this Path; yogi, the yogi who performs sacrifices etc., the man of actions; prapya, having reached; candramasam jyotih, the lunar light-having enjoyed the results (of his actions); nivartate, returns, on their exhaustion.


English Translation of Commentary  - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
8.24-25 Agnih etc. Dhumah etc.  Northern :  upper  (or upward).  Course :  the one taken  [by the sun] during the period of six months.  This course, on account of its illuminating nature, is figuratively described by the words denoting fire etc., and the course,  contrary to this, by opposite terms.  This course is intercepted with the lunar parts of enjoyment.  Hence [it leads to] the return for enjoyment.


English Translation of Ramanuja's Sanskrit Commentary
8.25 This denotes the world of the manes etc., described by the term starting with smoke. Here the term Yogin connotes one associated with good actions.
