ตุรียะมิใช่ความรู้ภายใน มิใช่ความรู้ภายนอก มิใช่ความรู้ทั้งสอง; มิใช่มวลแน่นแห่งจิตสำนึก; มิใช่รู้ มิใช่ไม่รู้. เป็นสิ่งไม่อาจเห็น ไม่อยู่ในวิสัยการแลกเปลี่ยน ไม่อาจยึดถือ ไร้ลักษณะจำแนก ไม่อาจคิด ไม่อาจกล่าว; แก่นแท้คือความแน่ชัดแห่งอาตมันหนึ่งเดียว; เป็นความสงบดับแห่งความฟุ้งขยายของปรากฏการณ์ สงบ สวัสดิมงคล และไม่ทวิภาวะ. นี่เขาถือว่าเป็นภาวะที่สี่; นั่นคืออาตมัน; นั่นพึงรู้แจ้ง.
[Turīya is] not that which is conscious of the internal, not that which is conscious of the external, not that which is conscious of both; not a compact mass of consciousness; not conscious, not unconscious. It is unseen, not an object of transaction, ungraspable, without distinguishing mark, unthinkable, indescribable; its essence is the certitude of the one Self; it is the cessation of phenomenal proliferation, peaceful, auspicious, non-dual. This they consider the Fourth; that is the Self; that is to be known.
- nobhayataḥprajñam = na + ubhayataḥprajñam
- nāprajñam = na + aprajñam
- so ’yam = saḥ + ayam
- prapañcopaśamam = prapañca + upaśamam (a+u→o)
