Verse 12
Katharudra
स एव जगतः साक्षी सर्वात्मा विमलाकृतिः ।
प्रतिष्ठा सर्वभूतानां प्रज्ञानघनलक्षणः ॥
न कर्मणा न प्रजया न चान्येनापि केचित् ।
ब्रह्मवेदनमात्रेण ब्रह्माप्नोत्येव मानवः ॥
सः । एव । जगतः । साक्षी । सर्व-आत्मा । विमल-आकृतिः ।
प्रतिष्ठा । सर्व-भूतानाम् । प्रज्ञान-घन-लक्षणः ।
न । कर्मणा । न । प्रजया । न । च । अन्येन । अपि । केचित् ।
ब्रह्म-वेदन-मात्रेण । ब्रह्म । आप्नोति । एव । मानवः ।
sa eva jagataḥ sākṣī sarvātmā vimalākṛtiḥ |
pratiṣṭhā sarva-bhūtānāṃ prajñāna-ghana-lakṣaṇaḥ ||
na karmaṇā na prajayā na cānyenāpi kecit |
brahma-vedana-mātreṇa brahmāpnoty eva mānavaḥ ||
তিনিই জগতের সাক্ষী, সকলের আত্মা, নির্মল স্বরূপ; সকল ভূতের প্রতিষ্ঠা এবং প্রজ্ঞাঘন (চৈতন্য-ঘন) লক্ষণযুক্ত। কর্ম দ্বারা নয়, প্রজার দ্বারা নয়, অন্য কোনো উপায়েও নয়—শুধু ব্রহ্মবিদ্যা/ব্রহ্মজ্ঞান দ্বারাই মানুষ ব্রহ্মকে লাভ করে।
He alone is the witness of the world, the Self of all, of stainless form; the foundation of all beings, characterized as a mass of consciousness. Not by action, not by progeny, nor indeed by anything else whatsoever—by Brahman-knowledge alone does a human being attain Brahman.
