yoga-dhyānaṃ sadā kṛtvā jñānaṃ tan-mayatāṃ vrajet | jñānāt svarūpaṃ paramaṃ haṃsa-mantraṃ samuccaret ||59||

Translation

ಸದಾ ಯೋಗಧ್ಯಾನವನ್ನು ಮಾಡಿ, ಸಾಧಕನು ಜ್ಞಾನಕ್ಕೆ ಪ್ರವೇಶಿಸಿ ತದ್ರೂಪತೆಯನ್ನು—ತನ್ನನ್ನು ಅದರಲ್ಲಿ ಲೀನಗೊಳಿಸುವುದನ್ನು—ಪಡೆಯಲಿ. ಜ್ಞಾನದಿಂದ ಪರಮ ಸ್ವರೂಪದ ಸಾಕ್ಷಾತ್ಕಾರ; ಹಂಸಮಂತ್ರವನ್ನು ಸಮುಚ್ಚರಿಸಬೇಕು.

Academic Translation

Having always practiced yogic meditation, one should proceed to knowledge—becoming absorbed in That. Through knowledge (one realizes) the supreme essential nature; one should recite the Haṃsa-mantra.

Verse Context

• Dhyāna leading to jñāna; tanmayatā (absorption) and mantra as support for Self-realization
• Mahavakya: Supports mahāvākya contemplation (nididhyāsana) by emphasizing tanmayatā; the ‘svarūpaṃ paramam’ aligns with ‘प्रज्ञानं ब्रह्म’ (Prajñānaṃ Brahma) in spirit (knowledge as Brahman), though not quoted.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka-style)
