अथ य इमे ग्राम इष्टापूर्ते दत्तमि-त्युपासते ते धूममभिसंभवन्ति धूमा-द्रात्रिँ रात्रेरपरपक्षमपरपक्षाद्यान्षडुद-क्षिणैति मासाँस्तान्नैते संवत्सरमभि-प्राप्नुवन्ति ॥ ३ ॥
In plain words
Now, those who live in the village and devote themselves to ritual sacrifices, public works, and charity pass into the realm of smoke. From smoke they go to night, from night to the dark fortnight, and from the dark fortnight to the six months during which the sun moves southward. But these people do not attain the year itself.
Close to the Sanskrit
Now, who these in village sacrifice-and-public-works, charity, thus worship, they smoke attain; from smoke night, from night the waning fortnight, from waning fortnight which six go south months, those not these the year attain.
