Translation

ਜਿਸ ਗਿਆਨੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਸਭ ਭੂਤ ਆਤਮਾ ਹੀ ਹੋ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਹਨ—ਏਕਤਾ ਨੂੰ ਵੇਖਣ ਵਾਲੇ ਲਈ ਉੱਥੇ ਮੋਹ ਕਿਹੜਾ? ਸ਼ੋਕ ਕਿਹੜਾ?

Academic Translation

For the knower in whom all beings have become the Self alone—there, what delusion is there, what sorrow, for one who sees unity?

Verse Context

• Ātman–Brahman non-duality; removal of śoka/moha through ekatva-darśana
• Mahavakya: Supports the purport of ‘tat tvam asi’ and ‘ahaṃ brahmāsmi’ by asserting identity/oneness of self and all beings (non-dual realization rather than mere ethical unity).
• Yajur
• Śukla (Vājasaneyī) Yajurveda; commonly transmitted with the Mādhyandina/Kāṇva recensions Shakha
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka-like cadence)
