Sanskrit recitationPaingala Upanishad 2

sa hovāca yājñavalkyaḥ—sad eva somyedam agra āsīt | tan nityamuktam avikriyaṃ satya-jñānānandaṃ paripūrṇaṃ sanātanam ekam evādvitīyaṃ brahma ||2||

Yājñavalkya disse: “Ó suave, no princípio isto era apenas o Ser. Esse (Ser) é eternamente livre, imutável, de natureza verdade–conhecimento–bem-aventurança, pleno em si, perene — Brahman, o Uno, sem segundo.”

Yājñavalkya said: “O gentle one, in the beginning this (universe) was Being alone. That (Being) is eternally free, unchanging, of the nature of truth–knowledge–bliss, all-full, everlasting—Brahman, one only, without a second.”

Brahman as satya-jñāna-ānanda; non-duality (advaita); nityamukti; immutabilityMahavakya: Directly supports ‘ekam evādvitīyam’ (Chāndogya 6.2.1) and the non-dual purport underlying ‘aham brahmāsmi’ and ‘tat tvam asi’ (identity of self and Brahman).YajurŚukla (Vājasaneyin) ShakhaChandas: Prose
