Translation

O renunciante não é inconstante nas mãos e nos pés, nem inconstante nos olhos, nem inconstante na fala. Tendo-se tornado Brahman, é aquele que venceu e dominou os sentidos.

Academic Translation

A renunciant is not fickle in hands and feet, not fickle in the eyes, and not fickle in speech; having become Brahman, he is one who has conquered the senses.

Verse Context

• Jitendriyatā (sense-mastery) and Brahma-bhāva (abidance as Brahman)
• Mahavakya: Indirect: ‘brahmabhūtaḥ’ resonates with mahāvākya realization (identity with Brahman), especially the lived import of ‘ahaṃ brahmāsmi’; not a direct mahāvākya quotation.
• Yajur
• Śukla (Vājasaneyī) Shakha
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
