Płaszcz powściągający umysł. Przez jogę, wizja własnej istotnej natury jako wiecznej błogości. Ten, kto żyje z jałmużny błogości. Przebywanie, nawet na wielkim cmentarzysku, w gaju błogości. Miejsce samotne. Klasztor błogości. Stan unmanī (przekroczenia umysłu). Działalność Śāradā (mądrości). Ruch w stronę unmanī. Oczyszczone ciało. Siedziba bez oparcia. Błogie działanie fal nektaru-nieśmiertelności. Blade, białe niebo. Wielka doktryna. Biegłość w polu i naczyniu, to jest w kultywowaniu boskich mocy takich jak spokój i samokontrola. Zjednoczenie wyższego i niższego. Instrukcje tāraka, które przenoszą na drugi brzeg. Bóstwo jest niedualne, wiecznie błogie.

Verse Context

• Moksha (liberation) through Advaita-realization and mind-transcendence (unmanī)
• Mahavakya: Supports the import of ‘अहं ब्रह्मास्मि’ (Aham Brahmāsmi) and ‘तत् त्वम् असि’ (Tat Tvam Asi) by describing direct vision of ever-blissful non-dual Self; not itself a canonical Mahāvākya.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Prose (gadyātmaka, aphoristic/nominal style)
