Sanskrit recitationMandukya Upanishad 12

amātraś caturtho 'vyavahāryaḥ prapañcopaśamaḥ śivo 'dvaita evam oṅkāra ātmā eva saṃviśaty ātmanātmānaṃ ya evaṃ veda ||12||

ภาวะที่สี่ (ตุรียะ) ปราศจากมาตรา ไม่อาจเป็นสิ่งแห่งการติดต่อแลกเปลี่ยน เป็นความสงบดับแห่งความแผ่ขยายของโลกปรากฏ (ประปัญจะ) เป็นสิริมงคล (ศิวะ) และเป็นอทไวตะ—ไม่ทวิภาวะ. ดังนี้ โอมการะ (Oṃkāra) คืออาตมัน (Ātman) เอง ผู้รู้ดังนี้ ย่อมเข้าสู่อาตมันด้วยอาตมัน

The Fourth is without mora, not an object of transaction, the cessation of phenomenal expansion, auspicious, non-dual. Thus the Oṃkāra is the Self indeed. He enters the Self by the Self—whoever thus knows.

Turīya (the Fourth), amātra (soundless), prapañcopaśama (cessation of phenomenalization), Advaita (non-duality)Mahavakya: Directly aligned with ‘Ayam Ātmā Brahma’ (Māṇḍūkya’s central mahāvākya): Oṃ is declared to be Ātman; Turīya is non-dual Brahman/Ātman beyond the three states.AtharvaAtharva-veda (traditionally associated with the Atharvaṇic corpus; specific śākhā not securely attested for Māṇḍūkya) ShakhaChandas: Prose
