Avadhuta Upanishad 28 — Verse 28

विष्णुं ध्यायतु धीः यद्वा ब्रह्मानन्दे विलीयताम् । साक्ष्यहं किंचिदप्यत्र न कुर्वे नापि कारये ॥२८॥

विष्णुम् । ध्यायतु । धीः । यद्वा । ब्रह्म-आनन्दे । विलीयताम् । साक्षी । अहम् । किञ्चित् । अपि । अत्र । न । कुर्वे । न । अपि । कारये ॥२८॥

viṣṇuṃ dhyāyatu dhīr yadvā brahmānande vilīyatām | sākṣy ahaṃ kiṃcid apy atra na kurve nāpi kāraye ||28||

بدھی وشنو کا دھیان کرے؛ یا پھر برہمنند میں لَے ہو جائے۔ میں ساکشی ہوں؛ یہاں میں کچھ بھی نہیں کرتا، نہ ہی کسی سے کچھ کرواتا ہوں۔

Let the intellect meditate on Viṣṇu; or else let it dissolve into the bliss of Brahman. I am the witness; here I do not do anything at all, nor do I cause (anything) to be done.

Sākṣitva (witnesshood), akartṛtva (non-doership), Brahmānanda; saguna-to-nirguna assimilationMahavakya: Strongly aligned with ‘अहं ब्रह्मास्मि’ and ‘प्रज्ञानं ब्रह्म’: the ‘I’ as sākṣin is actionless consciousness; meditation culminates in Brahman-bliss identity.AtharvaChandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
