Dla tego, w którym wiatr (oddech życiowy), przebiwszy to "koło/dysk" (maṇḍala), udaje się na czubek głowy - gdziekolwiek by umarł, nie rodzi się ponownie. "Nie rodzi się ponownie" - tak (kończy się) Upaniszad.

Academic Translation

For whom the wind (vital breath), having pierced this ‘circle/disc’ (maṇḍala), goes to the crown of the head—wherever he may die, he is not born again. ‘He is not born again’—thus (ends) the Upaniṣad.

Verse Context

• Mokṣa (liberation) and non-return (apunarbhava) through ūrdhva-prāṇa and realization
• Mahavakya: Indirect: expresses the fruit (mokṣa/apunarjanma) that mahāvākya-knowledge secures; framed here via yogic prāṇa-udgama rather than explicit identity statement.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Mixed: first two pādas anuṣṭubh-like; overall treated as śloka with an Upaniṣadic colophon; effectively metrical (Anuṣṭubh) with closing prose-like tag “ity upaniṣat”.
