Avadhuta Upanishad: Verse 6
एवं चतुष्पथं कृत्वा ते यान्ति परमां गतिम् । न कर्मणा न प्रजया धनेन त्यागेनैके अमृतत्वमानशुः ॥६॥
एवम् । चतुः-पथम् । कृत्वा । ते । यान्ति । परमाम् । गतिम् । न । कर्मणा । न । प्रजया । धनेन । त्यागेन । एके । अमृतत्वम् । आनशुः ॥६॥
evaṃ catuṣpathaṃ kṛtvā te yānti paramāṃ gatim | na karmaṇā na prajayā dhanena tyāgenaike amṛtatvam ānaśuḥ ||6||
So, nachdem sie den vierfachen Pfad vollzogen haben, gelangen sie in den höchsten Zustand. Nicht durch rituelles Tun, nicht durch Nachkommenschaft, nicht durch Reichtum — allein durch Entsagung erlangten einige Unsterblichkeit.
Thus, having made (or taken) the fourfold path, they go to the supreme state. Not by ritual action, not by progeny, not by wealth—by renunciation alone some attained immortality.
- catuṣpathaṃ kṛtvā (no change)
- tyāgena+eke → tyāgenaike (a+e sandhi)
- amṛtatvam+ānaśuḥ → amṛtatvam ānaśuḥ (hiatus retained in pada)
