Sanskrit
तेन त्यक्तेन भुञ्जीथा मा गृधः कस्य स्विद् धनम् ॥
English Griffith 1899
ENVELOPED by the Lord must be This All—each thing that
moves on earth.
With that renounced enjoy thyself. Covet no wealth of
any man.
Sanskrit
एवं त्वयि नान्यथेतो ऽस्ति न कर्म लिप्यते नरे ॥
English Griffith 1899
One, only doing Karma here, should wish to live a hundred
years.
No way is there for thee but this. So Karma cleaveth not
to man.
Sanskrit
ताꣳस् ते प्रेत्यापि गच्छन्ति ये के चात्महनो जनाः ॥
English Griffith 1899
Aye, to the Asuras belong those worlds enwrapt in blinding
gloom.
To them, when life on earth is done, depart the men who
kill the Self.
Sanskrit
तद् धावतो ऽन्यान् अत्य् एति तिष्ठत् तस्मिन्न् अपो मातरिश्वा दधाति ॥
English Griffith 1899
Motionless, one, swifter than Mind—the Devas failed to
o’ertake it speeding on before them.
It, standing still, outstrips the others running. Herein Both
Mâtarisvan stablish Action.
Sanskrit
तद् अन्तर् अस्य सर्वस्य तद् उ सर्वस्यास्य बाह्यतः ॥
English Griffith 1899
It moveth; it is motionless. It is far distant; it is near.
It is within This All; and it surrounds This All externally.
Sanskrit
सर्वभूतेषु चात्मानं ततो न वि चिकित्सति ॥
English Griffith 1899
The man who in his Self beholds all creatures and all things
that be,
And in all beings sees his Self, thence doubts no longer,
ponders not.
Sanskrit
तत्र को मोहः कः शोक ऽ एकत्वम् अनुपश्यतः ॥
English Griffith 1899
When, in the man who clearly knows, Self hath become all
things that are,
What wilderment, what grief is there in him who sees the
One alone?
Sanskrit
कविर् मनीषी परिभूः स्वयंभूर् याथातथ्यतो ऽर्थान् व्यदधाच्छाश्वतीभ्यः समाभ्यः ॥
English Griffith 1899
He hath attained unto the Bright, Bodiless, Woundless,
Sinewless, the Pure which evil hath not pierced.
Far-sighted, wise, encompassing, he self-existent hath
prescribed aims, as propriety demands, unto the
everlasting Years.
Sanskrit
ततो भूय ऽ इव ते तमो य ऽ उ संभूत्याꣳ रताः ॥
English Griffith 1899
Deep into shade of blinding gloom fall Asambhûti's
worshippers.
They sink to darkness deeper yet who on Sambhûti are
intent.
Sanskrit
इति शुश्रुम धीराणां ये नस् तद् विचचक्षिरे ॥
English Griffith 1899
One fruit, they say, from Sambhava, another from Asambhava.
Thus from the sages have we heard who have declared this
lore to us.
Sanskrit
विनाशेन मृत्युं तीर्त्वा संभूत्यामृतम् अश्नुते ॥
English Griffith 1899
The man who knows Sambhûti and Vinâsa simultaneously,
He, by Vinâsa passing death, gains by Sambhûti endless life.
Sanskrit
ततो भूय ऽ इव ते तमो य ऽ उ विद्यायाꣳ रताः ॥
English Griffith 1899
To blinding darkness go the men who make a cult of
Nescience.
The devotees of Science enter darkness that is darker still.
Sanskrit
इति शुश्रुम धीराणां ये नस् तद् विचचक्षिरे ॥
English Griffith 1899
Different is the fruit, they say, of Science and of Nescience.
Thus from the sages have we heard who have declared this
lore to us.
Sanskrit
अविद्यया मृत्युं तीर्त्वा विद्ययामृतम् अश्नुते ॥
English Griffith 1899
The man who knoweth well these two, Science and Nescience,
combined,
O’ercoming death by Nescience by Science gaineth endless
life.
Sanskrit
ओ3म् क्रतो स्मर क्लिबे स्मर कृतꣳ स्मर ॥

My breath reach everlasting Air! In ashes let my body end.
OM! Mind, remember thou; remember thou my sphere;
remember thou my deeds.

By goodly path lead us to riches, Agni, thou God who
knowest all our works and wisdom.
Remove the sin that makes us stray and wander: most
ample adoration will we bring thee.

यो ऽसाव् आदित्ये पुरुषः सो ऽसाव् अहम् ।
ओ३म् खं ब्रह्म ॥
English Griffith 1899
The Real's face is hidden by a vessel formed of golden light.
The Spirit yonder in the Sun, the Spirit dwelling there am I.
OM! Heaven! Brahma!
