== ब्रह्म तथा इसका स्वरूप | Brahman and its nature ==

=== Summary (in English) ===
These slokas from the text describe the nature of Brahman as the ultimate reality in Vedantic philosophy. Brahman is depicted as non-dual (advitīya), pure concentrated knowledge (viśuddha-vijñāna-ghanam), and free from ignorance (nirañjanam). It is profoundly peaceful (prāśānta), eternal (āda-anta-vihīnam), inactive (akriya), and of unending bliss (nirantara-ānanda-rasa-svarūpam). The self-luminous light of Brahman, free from distinctions created by illusion (nirasta-māyā-kṛta-sarva-bhedam), is eternally blissful, indivisible (niṣkala), formless (arūpa), and indescribable (anākhyam). Enlightened sages (budhāḥ) understand this supreme reality as pure consciousness (kevala-akhaṇḍa-cinmātram), devoid of knower, known, and knowledge (jñātṛ-jñeya-jñāna-śūnyam). Brahman is beyond acceptance or rejection (aheyam-anupādeyam), beyond mind and speech (mano-vācām-agocharam), immeasurable (aprameyam), and infinite (anādi-antam). The realization is that one’s true self is the effulgent, all-encompassing Brahman (pūrṇam ahaṃ mahaḥ).

=== सारांश ===
इन श्लोकों में वेदान्त दर्शन के अनुसार ब्रह्म के स्वरूप का वर्णन किया गया है। ब्रह्म अद्वितीय (एकमेव) है, शुद्ध और घनीभूत ज्ञान (विशुद्धविज्ञानघन) से युक्त है और अज्ञान से रहित (निरञ्जन) है। यह गहरे शांति (प्राशान्त), अनन्त (आद्यान्तविहीन), अशक्ति (अक्रिय), और निर्बाध सुख (निरन्तरानन्दरसस्वरूप) का प्रतीक है। माया द्वारा उत्पन्न भेदों से मुक्त (निरस्तमायाकृतसर्वभेदं) यह स्वरूप स्वयं प्रकाशित है, नित्य सुखद (सुखं), एकाकार (निष्कल), अरूप (अरूप), और अवर्णनीय (अनाख्य) है। ज्ञानी जन (विदुर्बुधाः) इस परम तत्व को केवल अखण्ड चैतन्य (केवलाखण्डचिन्मात्रं) के रूप में जानते हैं, जो ज्ञाता, ज्ञेय और ज्ञान से रहित (ज्ञातृज्ञेयज्ञानशून्यम्) है। ब्रह्म त्याज्य अथवा स्वीकृत (अहेयमनुपादेयं) के पार है, मन और वाणी की पहुँच से परे (मनोवाचामगोचरम्), अपरिमेय (अप्रमेय), और अनंत (अनाद्यन्त) है। एह अनुभूत होती है कि आत्मा परम, द्युतिमान और सर्वव्यापी ब्रह्मन् (पूर्णमहं महः) है।
