وہ حالت جس میں تمام سنکلپ (ارادے و خیال) پوری طرح پرسکون ہو جائیں، جو چٹان کی مانند ثابت قدم رہے، اور جو بیداری اور نیند دونوں سے آزاد ہو—وہی اپنی اصل فطرت میں اعلیٰ ترین استقرار ہے۔

That state in which all volitions (saṅkalpas) are completely pacified, which abides like a rock, and which is free from waking and sleep—that is the supreme abiding in one’s own nature.

Verse Context

• Mokṣa as svarūpa-sthiti; saṅkalpa-nirodha; turiya/transcending states
• Mahavakya: Aligns with ‘प्रज्ञानं ब्रह्म’ (Prajñānam brahma) by pointing to pure consciousness beyond waking/sleep modalities; also supports ‘तत् त्वम् असि’ as identity realized when state-bound self-notions cease.
• Yajur
• Kṛṣṇa Yajurveda (Maitrāyaṇīya śākhā) Shakha
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
