Academic Translation

This is the great Upaniṣad of Tripurā, in which the Supreme Imperishable is praised with sacred utterances. This (teaching) is the supreme (essence) of the Ṛg and Yajus; and this indeed is the Sāman; this is of the Atharvan; and it is also another (higher) knowledge. ‘Oṃ hrīm; Oṃ hrīm’—thus is the Upaniṣad.

Verse Context

• Brahman as Akṣara (the Imperishable); mantra as upāsanā and vidyā (higher knowledge)
• Mahavakya: Indirect—supports mahāvākya teaching by identifying the Imperishable Brahman as the ultimate purport (tātparya) of Vedic revelation; aligns especially with ‘ayam ātmā brahma’ in intent (Brahman as the ultimate reality to be realized).
• Atharva
• Chandas: Prose (mixed upaniṣadic style; not a strict Vedic metrical ṛc)
