Brahmavidya Upanishad: Verse 34
हंसहंसेति यो ब्रूयाद्धंसो ब्रह्मा हरिः शिवः । गुरुवक्त्रात्तु लभ्येत प्रत्यक्षं सर्वतोमुखम् ॥३४॥
हंस-हंस इति यः ब्रूयात् हंसः ब्रह्मा हरिः शिवः । गुरु-वक्त्रात् तु लभ्येत प्रत्यक्षम् सर्वतः-मुखम् ।
haṃsa-haṃseti yo brūyād dhaṃso brahmā hariḥ śivaḥ | guruvaktrāt tu labhyeta pratyakṣaṃ sarvatomukham ||34||
जो 'हंस हंस' बोलता है, वो हंस ब्रह्मा है, विष्णु है, शिव है। पर यह गुरु के मुँह से मिलता है। गुरु दिखाते हैं उसे, जो सब तरफ है।
Whoever utters ‘haṃsa, haṃsa’—that Haṃsa is Brahmā, Hari, and Śiva. But it is obtained from the mouth of the guru: the directly evident (Reality) whose face is everywhere.
- हंसहंसेति → हंस + हंस + इति
- यो ब्रूयाद्धंसो → यः + ब्रूयात् + हंसः (विसर्ग/ध्वनि-संधिः)
- गम्योऽसौ (नास्ति अत्र)
- गुरुवक्त्रात्तु → गुरुवक्त्रात् + तु
