IAST Transliteration

saṃyuktam ekatāṃ yāti tathātmany ātmavin muniḥ | evaṃ videhakaivalyaṃ sanmātratvam akhaṇḍitam ||24||

Translation

Was verbunden ist, wird eins; ebenso verweilt der Weise, der das Selbst kennt, im Selbst als Einheit. So ist das körperlose Alleinsein der Befreiung (videha‑kaivalya), der ungeteilte Zustand bloßen Seins (sat‑mātratva).

Academic Translation

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).
