yajñenety upasaṃhāraḥ sṛṣṭer mokṣasya ca īritaḥ | ya evam etaj jānāti sa hi mukto bhaved iti ||

Translation

Mit den Worten „durch das Yajña (heiliges Opfer)…“ ist der Abschluss dargelegt—über die Schöpfung und auch über die Befreiung. Wer dies so erkennt, der wird wahrlich befreit—so heißt es.

Academic Translation

With the words “by sacrifice (yajña) …” the conclusion has been stated—concerning creation and also liberation. He who thus knows this indeed becomes liberated—so (it is said).

Verse Context

• Moksha; jñāna as liberating insight into sṛṣṭi-yajña
• Mahavakya: Indirectly supports ‘prajñānaṃ brahma’/‘ahaṃ brahmāsmi’ by asserting liberation through right knowledge (jñāna) rather than mere ritual.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka-like)
