Translation

「なすべきことはなされた。得るべきものは得られた」—まことに常にそのとおり。世俗であれ聖典に基づくものであれ、いかなる営みであれ、すでに始まったものに従って進めばよい。行為者ならず、汚れなき私において。

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

• Akartṛtva (non-agency), alepatva (non-attachment), and prārabdha-driven continuation of conduct
• Mahavakya: Aligns with ‘अयमात्मा ब्रह्म (ayam ātmā brahma)’: as the Self is Brahman, action and its taint do not belong to it; conduct continues only at the level of appearance.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
