Atma Upanishad: Verse 24
संयुक्तमेकतां याति तथात्मन्यात्मविन्मुनिः । एवं विदेहकैवल्यं सन्मात्रत्वमखण्डितम् ॥२४॥
संयुक्तम् । एकताम् । याति । तथा । आत्मनि । आत्म-वित् । मुनिः । एवम् । विदेह-कैवल्यम् । सत्-मात्रत्वम् । अखण्डितम् ॥२४॥
saṃyuktam ekatāṃ yāti tathātmany ātmavin muniḥ | evaṃ videhakaivalyaṃ sanmātratvam akhaṇḍitam ||24||
ما كان مقترنًا يصير واحدًا؛ وكذلك في الذات يستقرّ الحكيم العارف بالذات واحدًا. وهكذا يكون التحرّر بلا جسد (فيدهها-كَيْفَلْيا)، حالة الوجود المحض غير المنقسم (سَت-ماترتفا).
What is conjoined becomes one; so too, in the Self the sage who knows the Self (abides as one). Thus (there is) bodiless aloneness (videha-kaivalya), the undivided state of mere Being (sat-mātratva).
- तथात्मन्यात्मविन्मुनिः → तथा + आत्मनि + आत्म-वित् + मुनिः (आत्मनि + आत्मवित् → आत्मन्यात्मवित्; त् + म् → न्म् in sandhi: विन्मुनिः)
- सन्मात्रत्वम् → सत् + मात्रत्वम् (त् + म् → न्म्)
