Recitation with translationSkanda Upanishad 9

yathā śivamayo viṣṇur evaṁ viṣṇumayaḥ śivaḥ | yathāntaraṁ na paśyāmi tathā me svastir āyuṣi ||9||

ଯେପରି ବିଷ୍ଣୁ ଶିବମୟ, ସେପରି ଶିବ ମଧ୍ୟ ବିଷ୍ଣୁମୟ। ମୁଁ ତାଙ୍କମଧ୍ୟରେ କୌଣସି ଭେଦ ଦେଖୁନି; ତେଣୁ ମୋ ଆୟୁଷ୍ୟରେ ସ୍ୱସ୍ତି ହେଉ।

Just as Viṣṇu is pervaded by Śiva, so Śiva is pervaded by Viṣṇu. Since I do not see any difference (between them), so may there be well-being for me in (my) lifespan.

Abheda (non-difference) and ekatva-darśana; auspiciousness (svasti) arising from non-dual visionMahavakya: Echoes the non-difference thrust of «सर्वं खल्विदं ब्रह्म» and supports the contemplative assimilation of «तत् त्वम् असि» by dissolving perceived ‘otherness’ (antara) at the level of ultimate reality.AtharvaChandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
