नैवर्क्षु तन्न यजुःषु नाप्यथर्वसु न चैव दृश्यत्यमलेषु सामसु । रथंतरे बार्हते चापि राजन्महाव्रते नैव दृश्येद्ध्रुवं तत्॥५-४४-२१॥

That reality is not seen in the Ṛk hymns, nor in the Yajus formulas, nor in the Atharvan texts; nor indeed is it seen in the pure Sāman chants. O King, even in the Rathantara and Bārhata melodies, and in the Mahāvrata rite, that fixed ultimate principle is not seen as an object.

english translation

अपारणीयं तमसः परस्तात्तदन्तकोऽप्येति विनाशकाले । अणीयरूपं क्षुरधारया तन्महच्च रूपं त्वपि पर्वतेभ्यः॥५-४४-२२॥

It is beyond crossing, set beyond darkness; even Death reaches it at the time of dissolution. It is subtler than the edge of a razor, and yet its vastness is greater even than mountains.

english translation

सा प्रतिष्ठा तदमृतं लोकास्तद्ब्रह्म तद्यशः । भूतानि जज्ञिरे तस्मात्प्रलयं यान्ति तत्र च॥५-४४-२३॥

That is the foundation; that is the deathless; that is the worlds; that is Brahman; that is glory. From that beings arise, and into that they proceed at dissolution.

english translation

अनामयं तन्महदुद्यतं यशो वाचो विकारान्कवयो वदन्ति । तस्मिञ्जगत्सर्वमिदं प्रतिष्ठितं ये तद्विदुरमृतास्ते भवन्ति॥५-४४-२४॥

That is free from affliction; poets speak of it as great, exalted glory, and as the transformations of speech. In it this entire world is established; those who know that become deathless.
