Academic Translation

Thus, having made (or taken) the fourfold path, they go to the supreme state. Not by ritual action, not by progeny, not by wealth—by renunciation alone some attained immortality.

Verse Context

• Moksha through tyāga (renunciation) rather than karma/artha/kāma
• Mahavakya: Supports the purport of identity-knowledge implied by ‘aham brahmāsmi’/‘tat tvam asi’: immortality is by renunciation/knowledge, not by works.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Mixed/Upaniṣadic anuṣṭubh-like śloka (non-strict)
