अथ य इमे ग्राम इष्टापूर्ते दत्तम् इत्य् उपासते । ते धूमम् अभिसंभवन्ति । धूमाद् रात्रिम् । रात्रेर् अपरपक्षम् । अपरपक्षाद् यान् षड् दक्षिणैति मासांस् तान् । नैते संवत्सरम् अभिप्राप्नुवन्ति

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
'But they who living in a village practise (a life of) sacrifices, works of public utility, and alms, they go to the smoke, from smoke to night, from night to the dark half of the moon, from the dark half of the moon to the six months when the sun goes to the south. But they do not reach the year.
