Paingala Upanishad 17 — Verse 17

ततः पवित्रं परमेश्वराख्यमद्वैतरूपं विमलाम्बराभम्। यथोदके तोयमनुप्रविष्टं तथात्मरूपो निरुपाधिसंस्थितः ॥१७॥

ततः । पवित्रम् । परम-ईश्वर-आख्यम् । अद्वैत-रूपम् । विमल-अम्बर-आभम् । यथा । उदके । तोयम् । अनुप्रविष्टम् । तथा । आत्म-रूपः । निरुपाधि-संस्थितः ॥१७॥

tataḥ pavitraṃ parameśvarākhyam advaitarūpaṃ vimalāmbarābham | yathodake toyam anupraviṣṭaṃ tathātmarūpo nirupādhisaṃsthitaḥ ||17||

ఆపై పరమ పవిత్రమైన, ‘పరమేశ్వర’ అని పిలువబడే, అద్వైతస్వరూపమైన—నిర్మల ఆకాశంలా—ఆ తత్త్వం అనుభవమవుతుంది. నీటిలో నీరు కలిసినట్లు, ఆత్మస్వరూపం ఉపాధిరహితంగా స్థితి చెందుతుంది।

Thereafter (one realizes) the Pure, called the Supreme Lord—of the nature of non-duality, resembling the stainless sky. As water has entered into water, so the form of the Self abides free of limiting adjuncts.

Brahman/Ātman non-duality; nirupādhi (freedom from adjuncts); identity/mergence imageryMahavakya: Directly aligns with “तत् त्वम् असि (tat tvam asi)” and “अहं ब्रह्मास्मि (ahaṃ brahmāsmi)” by asserting non-dual Brahman as one’s own Self when upādhis are negated; also resonates with “अयम् आत्मा ब्रह्म (ayam ātmā brahma)” through explicit ātma-rūpa.AtharvaChandas: Prose with metrical cadence (not strict Vedic chandas)
