Avadhuta Upanishad 34 — Verse 34

अहो पुण्यमहो पुण्यं फलितं फलितं दृढम् ।

अस्य पुण्यस्य सम्पत्तेरहो वयमहो वयम् ॥३४॥

अहो पुण्यम् । अहो पुण्यम् । फलितम् फलितम् दृढम् ।

अस्य पुण्यस्य सम्पत्तेः अहो वयम् । अहो वयम् ॥३४॥

aho puṇyam aho puṇyaṃ phalitaṃ phalitaṃ dṛḍham |

asya puṇyasya sampatter aho vayam aho vayam ||34||

Ah, merit! Ah, merit! It has borne fruit—borne fruit—firmly. Of the attainment of this merit—ah, we! ah, we!

Puṇya as preparatory merit culminating in jñāna (sādhana-catuṣṭaya maturation)Mahavakya: Indirect: puṇya is treated as a supportive condition for the rise of mahāvākya-jñāna (fitness for “अहं ब्रह्मास्मि” etc.), not as the liberating factor itself.AtharvaChandas: Prose/Upaniṣadic mixed meter (not strictly determinable)
