Muṇḍaka 3.2.1
स वेदैतत् परमं ब्रह्म धाम
यत्र विश्वं निहितं भाति शुभ्रम् ।
उपासते पुरुषं ये ह्यकामास्ते
शुक्रमेतदतिवर्तन्ति धीराः ॥ ३.२.१ ॥
He knows this supreme abode of brahman, in which the whole universe is placed and shines brightly. Those who worship the Person without desire, the wise, pass beyond this seed.
Muṇḍaka 3.2.2
कामान् यः कामयते मन्यमानः
स कामभिर्जायते तत्र तत्र ।
पर्याप्तकामस्य कृतात्मनस्तु
इहैव सर्वे प्रविलीयन्ति कामाः ॥ ३.२.२ ॥
One who desires and thinks upon desires is born again here and there through those very desires. But for one whose desires are fulfilled and whose ātman is accomplished, all desires dissolve right here.
Muṇḍaka 3.2.3
नायमात्मा प्रवचनेन लभ्यो
न मेधया न बहुना श्रुतेन ।
यमेवैष वृणुते तेन लभ्य-
स्तस्यैष आत्मा विवृणुते तनूं स्वाम् ॥ ३.२.३ ॥
This ātman is not attained by instruction, nor by intellect, nor by much learning. It is attained by the one whom it itself chooses; to him this ātman reveals its own body.
Muṇḍaka 3.2.4
नायमात्मा बलहीनेन लभ्यो
न च प्रमादात् तपसो वाप्यलिङ्गात् ।
एतैरुपायैर्यतते यस्तु विद्वां-
स्तस्यैष आत्मा विशते ब्रह्मधाम ॥ ३.२.४ ॥
This ātman is not attained by one lacking strength, nor by heedlessness, nor by austerity without the right sign. The wise one who strives by these means—his ātman enters the abode of brahman.
Muṇḍaka 3.2.5
संप्राप्यैनमृषयो ज्ञानतृप्ताः
कृतात्मानो वीतरागाः प्रशान्ताः
ते सर्वगं सर्वतः प्राप्य धीरा
युक्तात्मानः सर्वमेवाविशन्ति ॥ ३.२.५ ॥
Having attained him, the seers, satisfied with knowledge, self-mastered, free from passion and tranquil, having attained the all-pervading on every side, the steadfast ones with self united enter into all things.
Muṇḍaka 3.2.6
वेदान्तविज्ञानसुनिश्चितार्थाः
संन्यासयोगाद् यतयः शुद्धसत्त्वाः ।
ते ब्रह्मलोकेषु परान्तकाले
परामृताः परिमुच्यन्ति सर्वे ॥ ३.२.६ ॥
The ascetics who have firmly ascertained the meaning through knowledge of the Vedānta, pure in nature through the discipline of renunciation—all of them, at the end of time, in the worlds of brahman, fully immortal, are completely freed.
Muṇḍaka 3.2.7
गताः कलाः पञ्चदश प्रतिष्ठा
देवाश्च सर्वे प्रतिदेवतासु ।
कर्माणि विज्ञानमयश्च आत्मा
परेऽव्यये सर्वे एकीभवन्ति ॥ ३.२.७ ॥
The fifteen parts go to their foundations, all the gods into their respective deities; actions and the self made of knowledge—in the highest, imperishable—all become one.
Muṇḍaka 3.2.8
यथा नद्यः स्यन्दमानाः समुद्रेऽ
स्तं गच्छन्ति नामरूपे विहाय ।
तथा विद्वान् नामरूपाद्विमुक्तः
परात्परं पुरुषमुपैति दिव्यम् ॥ ३.२.८ ॥
As rivers flowing go down into the ocean, leaving behind name and form, so the knower, freed from name and form, attains the divine Person, higher than the highest.
Muṇḍaka 3.2.9
स यो ह वै तत् परमं ब्रह्म वेद
ब्रह्मैव भवति नास्याब्रह्मवित्कुले भवति ।
तरति शोकं तरति पाप्मानं गुहाग्रन्थिभ्यो
विमुक्तोऽमृतो भवति ॥ ३.२.९ ॥
He who knows that supreme brahman becomes brahman itself. In his lineage no one is born who does not know brahman. He crosses over sorrow, crosses over evil, and, freed from the knots of the heart, becomes immortal.
Muṇḍaka 3.2.10
तदेतदृचाऽभ्युक्तम् ।
क्रियावन्तः श्रोत्रिया ब्रह्मनिष्ठाः
स्वयं जुह्वत एकर्षिं श्रद्धयन्तः ।
तेषामेवैतां ब्रह्मविद्यां वदेत
शिरोव्रतं विधिवद् यैस्तु चीर्णम् ॥ ३.२.१० ॥
This is declared in a verse: those who perform the rites, the learned in the Veda, established in brahman, who themselves offer with faith to the one seer — to them alone should this knowledge of brahman be taught, to those who have duly observed the head-vow.
Muṇḍaka 3.2.11
तदेतत् सत्यमृषिरङ्गिराः
पुरोवाच नैतदचीर्णव्रतोऽधीते ।
नमः परमऋषिभ्यो नमः परमऋषिभ्यः ॥ ३.२.११ ॥
This is the truth: long ago the seer Aṅgiras declared that one who has not kept the vow does not study this. Homage to the supreme seers. Homage to the supreme seers.
