Translation

இவ்வாறு இந்த உபதேசத்தைப் பயிலும் ஒருவர் கೃತகೃತ்யன் ஆகிறான். அவன் சுராபானத் தோஷத்திலிருந்து தூய்மையடைகிறான்; பொன் திருட்டுப் பாவத்திலிருந்து தூய்மையடைகிறான்; பிராமணஹத்தி பாவத்திலிருந்து தூய்மையடைகிறான்; க்ருத்யா (அபிசாரம்) மற்றும் செய்யக்கூடாத செயல்களால் உண்டான பாவங்களிலிருந்தும் தூய்மையடைகிறான். இவ்வாறு அறிந்து, தன் சித்தத்திற்கேற்ப நடப்பதில் பராயணனாக இருப்பானாக. ஓம்—சத்தியம்; இதுவே உபநிஷத்॥३६॥

Academic Translation

Thus, whoever studies this (teaching) becomes one who has accomplished what is to be accomplished. He becomes purified from drinking intoxicants; he becomes purified from stealing gold; he becomes purified from killing a brāhmaṇa; he becomes purified from (sins arising from) sorcery and from what ought not to be done. Having thus known, one should become devoted to conduct according to one’s own will. Om—Truth: thus is the Upaniṣad.
