na nirodho na cotpattir na baddho na ca sādhakaḥ | na mumukṣur na vai mukta ity eṣā paramārthatā ||31||
Translation
ন নিরোধ আছে, না উৎপত্তি; না কেউ বদ্ধ, না কেউ সাধক। না কোনো মুমুক্ষু, না-ই কোনো মুক্ত—এটাই পরমার্থতা, পরম সত্য।
Academic Translation
There is no cessation, nor indeed origination; none is bound, nor is there a practitioner. There is no seeker of liberation, nor indeed anyone liberated—this is the highest truth (ultimate reality).
