Jubah yang mengekang batin. Melalui yoga, tersingkap penglihatan akan wujud yang hakikatnya adalah kebahagiaan abadi. Ia yang menyantap sedekah kebahagiaan. Berdiam, bahkan di tanah kremasi agung, di rimba kebahagiaan. Tempat sunyi. Biara kebahagiaan. Keadaan unmanī (melampaui pikiran). Gerak-laku Śāradā. Laju menuju unmanī. Tubuh yang disucikan. Singgasana tanpa sandaran. Laku kebahagiaan bagaikan gelombang nektar. Langit pucat/putih. Ajaran agung. Kecakapan dalam ladang dan wadah—yakni dalam pengamalan daya ilahi seperti śama dan dama. Penyatuan yang luhur dan yang rendah. Petunjuk tāraka. Dewa itu adalah non-dual, kebahagiaan abadi.

A cloak that restrains the mind. By yoga, the vision of the form whose nature is ever-bliss. One who eats the alms of bliss. Dwelling, even in the great cremation-ground, in the grove of bliss. A solitary place. A monastery of bliss. The state of unmanī (mind-transcendence). The activity of Śāradā. The movement into unmanī. A purified body. A seat without support. The blissful activity of nectar-like waves. The pale/white sky. The great doctrine. Skill in the field and vessel—i.e., in the practice of divine powers such as śama and dama. The conjunction of the higher and the lower. The tāraka instructions. The deity is nondual ever-bliss.

Moksha (jīvanmukti) through Advaita-realization and mind-transcendence (unmanī)Mahavakya: Supports the purport of ‘अहं ब्रह्मास्मि’ (Aham brahmāsmi) and ‘तत् त्वम् असि’ (Tat tvam asi) by identifying the ‘deity’ as advaita-sadānanda (nondual bliss) rather than an external object of worship.AtharvaChandas: Prose (gadyātmaka / aphoristic list)
