ယခု နိဗ္ဗာဏ ဥပနိသဒ်ကို ရှင်းလင်းဖော်ပြမည်။ «ငါသည် ပရမဟံသ ဖြစ်၏»။ လှည့်လည်သွားလာသော သံဃာ/သက်လွတ်ပုဂ္ဂိုလ်တို့၏ အမှတ်အသားများကို ‘အနောက်ဘက် အမှတ်တံဆိပ်’ ဟု ခေါ်ကြသည်။ မန္မထ သည် သန့်ရှင်းရာဝန်း၏ ကာကွယ်သူ ဖြစ်၏။ သဒ္ဓန္တ/သင်ခန်းစာသည် ‘ကောင်းကင်’ (ဂဂန-သိဒ္ဓာန္တ) ဖြစ်ပြီး မြစ်သည် လှိုင်းထန်သော အမృతမြစ် ဖြစ်၏။ ၎င်းသည် မပျက်မယွင်း၊ အညစ်အကြေးကင်း၏။ နိဟ္သံသယ သည် ရိရှိ ဖြစ်၏။ နိဗ္ဗာဏ သည် ဒေဝတာ ဖြစ်၏။ အကျင့်လမ်းသည် ‘နိෂ္ကူလ-ပရဝృတ္တိ’ ဟူ၍ မျိုးရိုးကန့်သတ်မှုမရှိ။ ဉာဏ်သည် ‘နိෂ္ကေဝလ-ဉာဏ’ ဟူ၍ မခွဲခြားသော/အဒွိတ ဉာဏ် ဖြစ်၏။
Now we shall expound the Nirvāṇa Upaniṣad. “I am the Paramahaṃsa.” The wandering renunciants are the (so‑called) ‘western marks.’ Manmatha is the guardian of the sacred precinct. The doctrine is the ‘sky’ (gagana‑siddhānta); the river is the nectar‑river with surging waves. (It is) the imperishable, the stainless. Niḥsaṃśaya is the seer (ṛṣi). Nirvāṇa is the deity. The activity is ‘without lineage’ (niṣkula‑pravṛtti). The knowledge is ‘non‑exclusive’/‘non‑dual’ (niṣkevala‑jñāna).
