Paingala Upanishad 6 — Verse 6

प्रारब्धकर्मपर्यन्तमहिनिर्मोकवद्व्यवहरति। चन्द्रवच्चरते देही स मुक्तश्चानिकेतनः॥६॥

प्रारब्ध । कर्म । पर्यन्तम् । अहि । निर्मोकवत् । व्यवहरति । चन्द्रवत् । चरते । देही । सः । मुक्तः । च । अनिकेतनः ॥

prārabdha-karma-paryantam ahi-nirmokavad vyavaharati | candravat carate dehī sa muktaś cāniketanaḥ ||6||

جب تک پراربدھ کرم ختم نہ ہو، وہ سانپ کی اتاری ہوئی کینچلی کی طرح برتاؤ کرتا ہے۔ دےہی چاند کی مانند چلتا پھرتا ہے؛ وہ مکّت ہے اور بےگھر (انیکیتن) ہے۔

Until the exhaustion of prārabdha-karma, he conducts himself like a snake’s slough (cast-off skin). The embodied one moves about like the moon; he is liberated and without a dwelling.

Jīvanmukti; prārabdha-karma; non-identification with body (deha-abhimāna-tyāga)Mahavakya: Application of mahāvākya-realization: after ‘aham brahmāsmi’/‘ayam ātmā brahma’ is known, prārabdha sustains appearance of embodiment while the knower remains free.AtharvaChandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
