sa hovāca yājñavalkyaḥ—sad eva somyedam agra āsīt | tan nityamuktam avikriyaṃ satya-jñānānandaṃ paripūrṇaṃ sanātanam ekam evādvitīyaṃ brahma ||2||

Yājñavalkya dijo: «Oh amable, al principio esto (el universo) era sólo el Ser (Sat). Ese Ser es eternamente libre, inmutable; de naturaleza verdad–conocimiento–bienaventuranza; pleno en sí, eterno: Brahman, uno solo, sin segundo».

Yājñavalkya said: “O gentle one, in the beginning this (universe) was Being alone. That (Being) is eternally free, unchanging, of the nature of truth–knowledge–bliss, all-full, everlasting—Brahman, one only, without a second.”

Brahman as satya-jñāna-ānanda; non-duality (advaita); nityamukti; immutabilityMahavakya: Directly supports ‘ekam evādvitīyam’ (Chāndogya 6.2.1) and the non-dual purport underlying ‘aham brahmāsmi’ and ‘tat tvam asi’ (identity of self and Brahman).YajurŚukla (Vājasaneyin) ShakhaChandas: Prose
