Now, I will tell you, O Arjuna, the times at which, if the mystics go forth, they do not return, and at which they go forth only to return.
O best of the Bharata dynasty, I shall now speak of that time by which the yogis depart and attain the State of Non-return, and also the State of Return.
हे भरतवंशियोंमें श्रेष्ठ अर्जुन ! जिस काल अर्थात् मार्गमें शरीर छोड़कर गये हुए योगी अनावृत्तिको प्राप्त होते हैं अर्थात् पीछे लौटकर नहीं आते और (जिस मार्गमें गये हुए) आवृत्तिको प्राप्त होते हैं अर्थात् पीछे लौटकर आते हैं, उस कालको अर्थात् दोनों मार्गोंको मैं कहूँगा।Commentary
I shall declare to you? O Prince of the Bharatas, the time at which if the Yogis leave their body they will not be born again and also when if they die they will be born again. To return means to be born again.
