IAST Transliteration

kṛtaṃ kṛtyaṃ prāpaṇīyaṃ prāptam ity eva nityaśaḥ | vyavahāro laukiko vā śāstrīyo vānyathāpi vā | mamākartur alepasya yathārabdhaṃ pravartatām ||24-25||

Translation

“Yang harus dilakukan telah dilakukan; yang harus dicapai telah dicapai”—demikianlah senantiasa. Bagi diriku yang bukan pelaku dan tak tersentuh, biarlah transaksi—duniawi, menurut śāstra, ataupun lainnya—berjalan sesuai prārabdha yang telah mulai.

Academic Translation

‘What had to be done is done; what was to be attained is attained’—thus indeed always. Let transaction—worldly or scriptural or otherwise—proceed according to what has already begun, for me who am a non-agent and untouched.

Verse Context

• Jīvanmukti: fulfillment (pūrṇatā) with continued prārabdha-based appearance of action
• Mahavakya: Reinforces ‘अहं ब्रह्मास्मि (ahaṃ brahmāsmi)’ in lived form: the ‘I’ is actionless Brahman; actions belong only to the apparent instrument.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
