Translation

ନିରଞ୍ଜନ (ନିର୍ମଳ) ବ୍ରହ୍ମରେ ମନ ଓ ପ୍ରାଣବାୟୁ ଲୀନ ହୁଏ—ଏଥିରେ ସନ୍ଦେହ ନାହିଁ। ଏବଂ ନାଦର ହଜାର କୋଟି ଓ ବିନ୍ଦୁର ଶତ କୋଟି ମଧ୍ୟ ଅଛି॥

Academic Translation

In the stainless (nirañjana) [Brahman], mind and vital wind dissolve—no doubt. And [there are] thousands of crores of nādas and hundreds of crores of bindus as well.

Verse Context

• Laya (dissolution) of mind and prāṇa in nirañjana Brahman; subtle phenomenology of nāda/bindu
• Mahavakya: Indirectly aligns with 'प्रज्ञानं ब्रह्म' (Prajñānam Brahma): when mind-prāṇa resolve, pure consciousness remains; not a direct quotation.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Prose/Upaniṣadic mixed (not strictly Vedic chandas)
