Skanda Upanishad: Verse 11
त्यजेदज्ञाननिर्माल्यं सोऽहंभावेन पूजयेत् । अभेददर्शनं ज्ञानं ध्यानं निर्विषयं मनः । स्नानं मनोमलत्यागः शौचमिन्द्रियनिग्रहः ॥११॥
त्यजेत् । अज्ञान-निर्माल्यम् । सः-अहम्-भावेन । पूजयेत् । अभेद-दर्शनम् । ज्ञानम् । ध्यानम् । निर्विषयम् । मनः । स्नानम् । मनः-मल-त्यागः । शौचम् । इन्द्रिय-निग्रहः ॥११॥
tyajed ajñāna-nirmālyaṃ so'haṃ-bhāvena pūjayet | abheda-darśanaṃ jñānaṃ dhyānaṃ nirviṣayaṃ manaḥ | snānaṃ mano-mala-tyāgaḥ śaucam indriya-nigrahaḥ ||11||
অজ্ঞানৰ নিৰ্মাল্য ত্যাগ কৰি ‘সোঽহং’ ভাৱে পূজা কৰিব লাগে। অভেদদৰ্শনেই জ্ঞান; ধ্যান মানে বিষয়ৰহিত মন। স্নান মানে মনোমল ত্যাগ; শৌচ মানে ইন্দ্ৰিয়-নিগ্ৰহ।
One should cast off the garland-remnants of ignorance and worship with the attitude ‘I am He’. The vision of non-difference is knowledge; meditation is the mind free from objects; bathing is the abandonment of the mind’s impurities; purity is the restraint of the senses.
