Another kind of life journey which involves discharging one’s functional responsibilities and fulfilling material desires with no interest in acquiring ब्रह्मविद्या || Brahmavidya and then eventually death. Such people during continue their journey at night time, during the कृष्णपक्ष || krsnapaksha (अमावास्या || amavasya-dark moon) in the southern direction, reaching the धुमाभिमनि देवताः || dhumabhimani (wind gods) without seeing the संवत्सर देवताः || sanvatsar devata they reach the पितृलोक || pitrulok (land of the ancestors) then to the Sky and eventually reach सोम || soma (the grain of the Gods).

After their karma is exhausted, these souls come back to पृथ्वीलोक || prutvilok using the same path that they had used to go up, through the Sky, Wind, Smoke, Cloud, Rain. Determined by one’s कर्म || karma, the soul is reborn embodied through अन्न || anna (rice, wheat, herbs, tree, varieties of roots and medicinal herbs). By the power of धर्म || dharma and कर्म || karma (दैव || daiva) and through these grains, one may be born either as a ब्राह्मण || brahmana, क्षत्रिय || kshatriya or वैश्य || vaisya. Such pious people are called as रमनिया चरना || ramaniya charna. If however their accumulated sin during the human birth is high, then they could become dog, pig or a चान्डाल || chandala (outcaste).  Those souls who do not traverse either of these paths, the देवयान and पितृयान, are reborn time and again in the lower species of life.  Therefore पितृलोक || pitri loka is not filled all the time.

This is also highlighted in the Vedavyasa Brahmasutras.  

== As in Brahmasutras ==

Brahmasutras extensively and intricately describe the path of the Soul after Jeevan mukti and Videha mukti.

When the transmigration of the soul takes place, the living being enters into the new body along with the subtle elements- मनस || manasa (mind), बुद्धि || buddhi (intellect) and अहङ्कार || ahankara (ego).

When the transmigration of the soul takes place, the living being enters into the new body along with the subtle elements- मनस || manasa (mind), बुद्धि || buddhi (intellect) and अहङ्कार || ahankara (ego). This is corroborated in the Upanishads.  

This is corroborated in the Upanishads. The Devayana and Pitrayana is described in the Brahmasutras in the 4th chapter, 2nd section.

 

The Devayana and Pitrayana is described in the Brahmasutras in the 4th chapter (phaladhyaya), 2nd section. The mode of departure from the body up to the way is common to both the knower of the Saguna Brahman and an ordinary man  <blockquote>''समाना चासृत्युपक्रमादमृतत्वं चानुपोष्य (4.2.7)''</blockquote>And common (is the mode of departure at the time of death for both the knower of the Saguna Brahman and the ignorant) up to the beginning of their ways; and the immortality (of the knower of the Saguna Brahman is only relative) without having burnt (ignorance). The present Sutra says that the knower of the Saguna Brahman enters the Sushumna Nadi at death and then goes out of the body and then enters the Devayana or the path of the gods while the ordinary ignorant man enters some other Nadi and goes by another way to have rebirth.

 

But the mode of departure at death is common to both till they enter on their respective ways.

The law of Creation is also explained in the  Bhagavad Gita (VIIth & VIIIth Chapters) and in the third chapter of Yajna chakra.
