Sanskrit recitationSkanda Upanishad 9

yathā śivamayo viṣṇur evaṁ viṣṇumayaḥ śivaḥ | yathāntaraṁ na paśyāmi tathā me svastir āyuṣi ||9||

Assim como Viṣṇu é permeado por Śiva, do mesmo modo Śiva é permeado por Viṣṇu. E porque não vejo diferença entre ambos, que haja para mim bem‑estar ao longo da minha vida.

Just as Viṣṇu is pervaded by Śiva, so Śiva is pervaded by Viṣṇu. Since I do not see any difference (between them), so may there be well-being for me in (my) lifespan.

Abheda (non-difference) and ekatva-darśana; auspiciousness (svasti) arising from non-dual visionMahavakya: Echoes the non-difference thrust of «सर्वं खल्विदं ब्रह्म» and supports the contemplative assimilation of «तत् त्वम् असि» by dissolving perceived ‘otherness’ (antara) at the level of ultimate reality.AtharvaChandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
