Tenggelam sepenuhnya dalam yoga meditasi, dan melalui keadaan samādhi, wahai Yang Berwujud Tanpa Batas, mereka merenungkan kediaman-Mu yang keempat (turīya) yang melampaui. Bebas daripada segala derita, makhluk berjasad tidak lagi digerakkan oleh rasa takut, kerana mereka telah mencapai Brahman yang kekal, tidak terjangkau fikiran, tanpa awal dan tanpa akhir.

FAQs
It presents moksha as the fruit of dhyāna and samādhi: by realizing the Lord’s turīya (transcendent) state/abode—identified with eternal, inconceivable Brahman—one becomes free from affliction and fear.
Turīya literally means “the fourth,” pointing to a transcendent state beyond ordinary waking, dreaming, and deep sleep—here described as the Lord’s supreme abode/state realized through meditation.
Steady contemplative practice (single-pointed meditation leading to samādhi) is portrayed as a discipline that dissolves fear and suffering by anchoring the mind in the eternal and beginningless reality.
