Recitation with translationBrahmavidya Upanishad 42

nāsāgre acyutaṃ vidyāt tasyānte tu paraṃ padam | paratvāt tu paraṃ nāstīty evaṃ śāstrasya nirṇayaḥ ||42||

नाक के टॉप पर अच्युत को जानो। नाक जहाँ खत्म होती है, वहाँ सबसे बड़ा स्थान है। इससे बड़ा कुछ नहीं है, यह शास्त्र का फैसला है।

One should know Acyuta at the tip of the nose; at its end, indeed, is the supreme abode. Because it is supreme, there is nothing beyond it—thus is the determination of the scripture.

Paramapada (supreme state); upāsanā leading to mokṣaMahavakya: Indirect—frames the ‘supreme abode’ as the culmination of knowledge; can be read as preparatory to mahāvākya-realization (identity with Brahman) rather than a direct mahāvākya statement.AtharvaChandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
