IAST Transliteration

māyāvidye vihāyaiva upādhī parajīvayoḥ | akhaṇḍaṃ saccidānandaṃ paraṃ brahma vilakṣyate ||32||

Translation

माया और अज्ञान को साइड में रख दो। यह दोनों चीज़ें तुम्हे लिमिट करती हैं - एक ब्रह्मन की तरफ़ से, दूसरी जीव की तरफ़ से। जब इन्हें हटा दोगे, तो ब्रह्मन दिखेगा। वो एक पूरा है, बिना टुकड़ों के। उसमें बस होना है, समझना है, और खुशी है।

Academic Translation

Having set aside māyā and (a)vidyā—the limiting adjuncts pertaining to the Supreme and the individual—the supreme Brahman, indivisible, being–consciousness–bliss, is discerned.

Verse Context

• Upādhi-apavāda (negation of limiting adjuncts) revealing akhaṇḍa-brahman; saccidānanda-lakṣaṇa
• Mahavakya: Indirect alignment with mahāvākyas such as “tat tvam asi” (identity becomes intelligible once upādhis are negated); not a direct mahāvākya citation
• Unknown (non-Mukhya/uncertain source; verse not identifiable in Principal Upanishads as transmitted in standard recensions)
• Unknown Shakha
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka-like, 4 pādas of ~8 syllables; appears as a metrical śloka rather than a Vedic mantra)
