Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
A year is a day and a night of the gods; their division is (as follows): the half year during which the sun progresses to the north will be the day, that during which it goes southwards the night.
Translated by Georg Bühler
