Sūrya–Nāga Dialogue on the Perfected Gleaner-Ascetic
प्राप चैनं मुहूर्तेन संस्थान देवसंज्ञितम् । तां चैव प्रकृतिं प्राप्प एकीभावगतो5भवत्,“वे एक ही मुहूर्तमें अपने देवधाममें जा पहुँचे और अपनी प्रकृतिको प्राप्त हो उसके साथ एकीभूत हो गये
vaiśampāyana uvāca | prāpa cainaṁ muhūrtena saṁsthānaṁ devasaṁjñitam | tāṁ caiva prakṛtiṁ prāpya ekībhāvagato 'bhavat |
ഒരു മുഹൂർത്തത്തിനുള്ളിൽ തന്നെ അദ്ദേഹം ദേവസഞ്ജ്ഞിതമായ ധാമത്തിലെത്തി; തന്റെ സ്വപ്രകൃതിയെ പ്രാപിച്ച് അതോടൊന്നു ചേർന്ന് ഏകീഭവിച്ചു.

The verse points to the culmination of spiritual progress: the individual reaches a divine state and merges into their fundamental nature (prakṛti), indicating dissolution of separateness and the settling of the self into its source—an image often used to convey liberation and the end of worldly striving.
Vaiśampāyana narrates a swift transition: the person described arrives in the divine abode in a moment and then attains their own prakṛti, becoming unified with it—suggesting a post-mortal ascent or a yogic consummation where individuality is absorbed into a higher, primordial state.
