इदानीमात्मना सार्द्धं मुक्तिकालो मतोऽस्ति ते ॥ उत्तिष्ठ गम्यतां पुत्र मया सार्द्धं परं पदम्
idānīm ātmanā sārddhaṃ muktikālo mato 'sti te || uttiṣṭha gamyatāṃ putra mayā sārddhaṃ paraṃ padam
الآن، ومع ذاتك في تمام الاستعداد الباطني، يُرى أن وقت الخلاص (موكشا mokṣa) قد حان لك. انهض يا بُنيّ؛ لِنمضِ معًا إلى المقام الأعلى.

FAQs
It preserves a standard Purāṇic idiom where liberation is framed as a decisive ‘time’ and a guided transition, echoing older Upaniṣadic and epic patterns of teacher-led instruction.
No physical location is named; “paraṃ padam” functions as a metaphysical destination rather than a mapped site.
Readiness for liberation is linked to inner preparedness and disciplined life, presented through the teacher’s directive to ‘rise’ and proceed.
