अव्यक्तोऽक्षर इत्युक्तस्तमाहुः परमां गतिम् । यं प्राप्य न निवर्तन्ते तद्धाम परमं मम॥६-३०-२१॥

That unmanifest is called the imperishable; they describe it as the highest destination. Having reached it, they do not return—this is my supreme abode.

english translation

पुरुषः स परः पार्थ भक्त्या लभ्यस्त्वनन्यया । यस्यान्तःस्थानि भूतानि येन सर्वमिदं ततम्॥६-३०-२२॥

That supreme Person, O Pārtha, is attainable through exclusive devotion; within Him all beings abide, and by Him all this is pervaded.

english translation

यत्र काले त्वनावृत्तिमावृत्तिं चैव योगिनः । प्रयाता यान्ति तं कालं वक्ष्यामि भरतर्षभ॥६-३०-२३॥

Now I shall explain, O best of the Bharatas, the times at which yogins who depart attain non-return, and also the times at which they return.

english translation

अग्निर्ज्योतिरहः शुक्लः षण्मासा उत्तरायणम् । तत्र प्रयाता गच्छन्ति ब्रह्म ब्रह्मविदो जनाः॥६-३०-२४॥

Fire, light, day, the bright fortnight, and the six months of the northern course of the sun—departing then, knowers of Brahman proceed to Brahman.

english translation

धूमो रात्रिस्तथा कृष्णः षण्मासा दक्षिणायनम् । तत्र चान्द्रमसं ज्योतिर्योगी प्राप्य निवर्तते॥६-३०-२५॥

Smoke, night, the dark fortnight, and the six months of the southern course of the sun—departing then, the yogin reaches the lunar light and returns.
