Recitation with translationMudgala Upanishad 1.9

yajñenety upasaṃhāraḥ sṛṣṭer mokṣasya ca īritaḥ | ya evam etaj jānāti sa hi mukto bhaved iti ||

“യജ്ഞേനേ…” എന്ന വാക്കുകളാൽ ഉപസംഹാരം പ്രസ്താവിക്കപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്നു—സൃഷ്ടിയെയും മോക്ഷത്തെയും സംബന്ധിച്ച്. ഇങ്ങനെ ഇതറിഞ്ഞവൻ നിശ്ചയമായും മുക്തനാകുന്നു എന്നു പറയുന്നു.

With the words “by sacrifice (yajña) …” the conclusion has been stated—concerning creation and also liberation. He who thus knows this indeed becomes liberated—so (it is said).
