Skanda Upanishad 7: Verse 7
एवं बद्धस्तथा जीवः कर्मनाशे सदाशिवः । पाशबद्धस्तथा जीवः पाशमुक्तः सदाशिवः ॥७॥
एवम् । बद्धः । तथा । जीवः । कर्म-नाशे । सदाशिवः । पाश-बद्धः । तथा । जीवः । पाश-मुक्तः । सदाशिवः ।
evaṁ baddhas tathā jīvaḥ karmanāśe sadāśivaḥ | pāśabaddhas tathā jīvaḥ pāśamuktaḥ sadāśivaḥ ||7||
Demikianlah jīva (diri individu) berada dalam ikatan; ketika karma musnah, ia adalah Sadāśiva. Begitu pula jīva terbelenggu oleh pāśa; terbebas dari pāśa, ia menjadi Sadāśiva.
Thus, the individual self (jīva) is bound; upon the destruction of karma, (it is) Sadāśiva. Likewise, the jīva is bound by the fetter (pāśa); freed from the fetter, (it is) Sadāśiva.
