synopsis
Reader of the sutra: Ma Yoga Taru, also chanting.
Hindi part:
(Translated as in Finger Pointing to the Moon on CD-ROM)
The sutra
Listening to these teachings from the master, the disciple became enlightened and began to say: I had seen the world just now, where has it gone? Who has taken it away? Into what has it become dissolved? It is a great surprise! Does it not exist?
In this great ocean of brahma which is full of the nectar of infinite bliss, what have I to renounce now and what have I to take? What is other now and what is extraordinary?
Here I do not see anything, I do not hear anything and I do not know anything, because I am always in my blissful soul and I myself am my own nature.
I am unattached, bodiless, genderless; I am god myself; I am absolutely silent, I am infinite, I am the whole and the most ancient.
I am not the doer, I am not the sufferer, I am unchanging and inexhaustible. I am the abode of pure knowledge, I am alone and I am the eternal godliness.
This knowledge was given by the master to apantaram, apantaram gave it to Brahma, Brahma gave it to Ghorangiras, Ghorangiras gave it to Raikva, Raikva gave it to Rama and Rama gave it to all living beings. This is the message of nirvana and this is the teaching and discipline of the Vedas.
Thus ends this Upanishad.

The sutra
By listening to these above teachings the disciple attained knowledge and he exclaimed, "Whither has that world gone? Whither has gone that world I have just seen? Who did it take away? And in what way has it dissolved? Is it not immensely astonishing that it is not?
What have I now to renounce in this great oceanlike Brahman, which is whole and full of a nectar of bliss? What is the other? What is more unique?
Here, I do not even see anything. I do not even hear anything, and I do not even know anything, because I am the ever-blissful self. I am unique. I can be compared to none. I can be compared only to myself.
I am absolutely alone, without body.
I cannot be indicated.
No symbol can represent me.
I am the supreme God Hari.
I am immeasurably silent.
I am the infinite, absolute, and the most ancient.
I am not the doer.
I am not the one who indulges.
I am without growth.
I am the imperishable.
I am already pure and knowledge itself.
I am the sadashiv, the eternally good."
This knowledge was transmitted by the guru to his disciple, Apantaram, who in his turn transmitted it to Brahma. Brahma gave it to Ghora Angirasa, and the latter to Raikwa. Raikwa gave it to Rama, and Rama gave it to all of humanity.
This is the teaching of nirvana, of knowledge, Veda. It is ordained by the Veda itself.
Here ends this Upanishad.
