Blessed am I, blessed am I; today I do not behold worldly sorrow. Blessed am I, blessed am I; my own ignorance has fled—somewhere (away).

Verse Context

• Moksha (liberation) through destruction of avidyā
• Mahavakya: Supports the realization implied by “अहं ब्रह्मास्मि” (Aham Brahmāsmi): with Self-knowledge, saṃsāric duḥkha is sublated.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Prose/Upaniṣadic mixed meter (not reliably classifiable as a strict Vedic chandas)
