“Then the second are the sakāma karma yogis. Leaving the body, they journey by ‘the Dhūmādi path’ of smoke, night, the dark fortnight and the six months of Dakṣiṇāyana, reach the world of heaven and enjoy its pleasures, and, as was said above, as soon as that merit is exhausted they take rebirth. Yet both of these may be called ‘yogis’. These two paths have come down from beginningless time. They will stand in the world forever. Until when? you may doubt. Brother-in-law! As long as upāsakas and those qualified for karma remain in this world, so long will these paths remain too,” said Kṛṣṇa.
