Kaivalya Upanishad: Verse 4

वेदान्तविज्ञानसुनिश्चितार्थाः संन्यासयोगाद्यतयः शुद्धसत्त्वाः । ते ब्रह्मलोकेषु परान्तकाले परामृताः परिमुच्यन्ति सर्वे ॥४॥

वेदान्त-विज्ञान-सु-निश्चित-अर्थाः । संन्यास-योगात् यतयः शुद्ध-सत्त्वाः । ते ब्रह्म-लोकेषु पर-अन्त-काले । परम् अमृताः परि-मुच्यन्ति सर्वे ॥४॥

Recitation with translationKaivalya Upanishad 4

vedāntavijñānasuniścitārthāḥ saṃnyāsayogād yatayaḥ śuddhasattvāḥ | te brahmalokeṣu parāntakāle parāmṛtāḥ parimucyante sarve ||4||

जिन्होंने वेदांत को पूरा समझ लिया, जो संन्यास लेके चल पड़े, जिनका मन साफ है, वो सब आखिरी वक्त में ब्रह्मा की दुनिया में पहुंच जाते हैं। वहां से वो सब कभी वापस नहीं आते, वो सबसे बड़ी अमृत मिल जाती है।

Those whose purport has been well ascertained through Vedānta-knowledge—renunciant strivers, purified in sattva—at the final end of time, in the Brahma-worlds, all are completely released, having attained the supreme immortality.
