Muṇḍaka 3.1.1
द्वा सुपर्णा सयुजा सखाया समानं वृक्षं परिषस्वजाते ।
तयोरन्यः पिप्पलं स्वाद्वत्त्यनश्नन्नन्यो अभिचाकशीति ॥ ३.१.१ ॥
Two beautiful-winged birds, yoked together, companions, cling to the same tree. One of them eats the sweet pippala fruit; the other, not eating, simply looks on.
Muṇḍaka 3.1.2
समाने वृक्षे पुरुषो निमग्नोऽ
नीशया शोचति मुह्यमानः ।
जुष्टं यदा पश्यत्यन्यमीशमस्य
महिमानमिति वीतशोकः ॥ ३.१.२ ॥
On the same tree a person, sunk in it, grieves through helplessness and is deluded. When he sees the beloved other, the Lord, and his greatness, he becomes free from grief.
Muṇḍaka 3.1.3
यदा पश्यः पश्यते रुक्मवर्णं
कर्तारमीशं पुरुषं ब्रह्मयोनिम् ।
तदा विद्वान् पुण्यपापे विधूय
निरञ्जनः परमं साम्यमुपैति ॥ ३.१.३ ॥
When the seer sees the golden-hued one, the creator, the Lord, the person, the source of Brahman, then the knowing one, shaking off merit and demerit, stainless, attains supreme oneness.
Muṇḍaka 3.1.4
प्रणो ह्येष यः सर्वभूतैर्विभाति
विजानन् विद्वान् भवते नातिवादी ।
आत्मक्रीड आत्मरतिः क्रियावा-
नेष ब्रह्मविदां वरिष्ठः ॥ ३.१.४ ॥
This is the one who shines forth through all beings. The wise one who knows him well does not become a boaster. He who plays in the self, delights in the self, and is active — this one is the best of knowers of Brahman.
Muṇḍaka 3.1.5
सत्येन लभ्यस्तपसा ह्येष आत्मा
सम्यग्ज्ञानेन ब्रह्मचर्येण नित्यम् ।
अन्तःशरीरे ज्योतिर्मयो हि शुभ्रो
यं पश्यन्ति यतयः क्षीणदोषाः ॥ ३.१.५ ॥
This self is attained through truth, through austerity, through right knowledge, and through constant celibate discipline. Within the body is the self, made of light and pure; the ascetics whose faults are destroyed see him.
Muṇḍaka 3.1.6
सत्यमेव जयते नानृतं
सत्येन पन्था विततो देवयानः ।
येनाऽऽक्रमन्त्यृषयो ह्याप्तकामा
यत्र तत् सत्यस्य परमं निधानम् ॥ ३.१.६ ॥
Truth alone is victorious, not falsehood. By truth the path of the gods, the devayāna, is spread out; by it the seers whose desires are fulfilled proceed to where lies the supreme abode of truth.
Muṇḍaka 3.1.7
बृहच्च तद् दिव्यमचिन्त्यरूपं
सूक्ष्माच्च तत् सूक्ष्मतरं विभाति ।
दूरात् सुदूरे तदिहान्तिके च
पश्यन्त्विहैव निहितं गुहायाम् ॥ ३.१.७ ॥
That is vast and divine, of unthinkable form; it shines more subtle than the subtle. It is far, very far, and yet here, near at hand. Let them see it here itself, lodged in the cave.
Muṇḍaka 3.1.8
न चक्षुषा गृह्यते नापि वाचा
नान्यैर्देवैस्तपसा कर्मण वा ।
ज्ञानप्रसादेन विशुद्धसत्त्व-
स्ततस्तु तं पश्यते निष्कलं
ध्यायमानः ॥ ३.१.८ ॥
He is not grasped by the eye, nor by speech, nor by the other gods, nor by austerity or action. Through the clarity of knowledge, one whose being is purified, meditating, then beholds that partless one.
Muṇḍaka 3.1.9
एषोऽणुरात्मा चेतसा वेदितव्यो
यस्मिन् प्राणः पञ्चधा संविवेश ।
प्राणैश्चित्तं सर्वमोतं प्रजानां
यस्मिन् विशुद्धे विभवत्येष आत्मा ॥ ३.१.९ ॥
This subtle self is to be known by the mind, into which the breath has entered in its fivefold form. All the consciousness of creatures is woven into it by the breaths; when it is purified, this self becomes manifest.
Muṇḍaka 3.1.10
यं यं लोकं मनसा संविभाति
विशुद्धसत्त्वः कामयते यांश्च कामान् ।
तं तं लोकं जयते तांश्च कामां-
स्तस्मादात्मज्ञं ह्यर्चयेत् भूतिकामः ॥ ३.१.१० ॥
Whichever world he illumines with his mind, and whatever desires one of pure being wishes for, he wins that world and those desires. Therefore one who desires prosperity should honor the knower of the ātman.
