Smriti also declares that the soul of him who knows departs by means of
an artery of the head. 'Of those, one is situated above which pierces
the disc of the sun and passes beyond the world of Brahman; by way of
that the soul reaches the highest goal' (Yâjñ. Smri. III, 167).--Here
terminates the adhikarana of 'up to the beginning of the road.'
