Ia menjadi disucikan dari dosa meminum minuman memabukkan; disucikan dari mencuri emas; disucikan dari membunuh seorang brāhmaṇa; disucikan dari dosa yang timbul dari sihir dan dari perbuatan yang tidak patut dilakukan. Setelah mengetahui demikian, hendaknya ia teguh dalam laku sesuai kehendaknya sendiri. Om—Kebenaran: demikianlah Upaniṣad ini.

Academic Translation

Thus, whoever studies this (teaching) becomes one who has accomplished what is to be accomplished. He becomes purified from drinking intoxicants; he becomes purified from stealing gold; he becomes purified from killing a brāhmaṇa; he becomes purified from (sins arising from) sorcery and from what ought not to be done. Having thus known, one should become devoted to conduct according to one’s own will. Om—Truth: thus is the Upaniṣad.
