" THE END OF MUNDAKOUPANISAD"

-

Chapter-3.

Section-2.

Mantram-9,10,11.





1. One who  knows Supreme Brahmam, becomes Brahmam,


2. and his family, none who knows not the Brahmam will ever be born.


3. He crosses grief; crosses sin, and being free from the knots-of-the-heart, becomes immortal.


4. To them alone let one teach this knowledge of Brahmam, who perform rituals, who read Vedas, who pursue the meditations upon Brahmam,


5. who possess faith and offer oblations themselves to the fire called Ekarsi; and who have observed strictly the Sirovrata( carry pots of fire on their head!)


6. This is the Truth. Rishi Angira communicated this to his disciples in ancient times. No one, who has not observed any vow( renunciation), is fit to study this.


7. Our salutations to the great sages : our prostrations ( Sashtanga Namaskarams) to the great Seers.


Mundakoupanisad ends here.

Mundakopanishad Chapter 2: Section 2, Post - 24. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capter-II. Sectuion -2. Mantram- 9. (Self effulgent Brahmam) & Mantram-10. (All Illuminating Brahmam.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here the word ‘karma’ is used in the plural. A controversy has arisen by commentators interpreting the word ‘karma’ as plural. How many karmas are there? Plural implies more than two. In Sanskrit grammar, plural is not dual, it is more than dual. In the English language, more than one is plural. But in Sanskrit, more than one is dual, and more than dual is plural. Here karm??i is plural, which means more than two. Does it mean that more than two karmas are destroyed, or are only two karmas destroyed? There are three kinds of karma—sanchita, agami

Many of these verses sound like the verses of the Bhagavadgita, in the Ninth Chapter, where it is said that after enjoying the glories of heaven you come back due to the exhaustion of the merits accumulated by good deeds. Ishta and purta are two types of good deeds that people do in this world. Sacrifices along the lines of the Vedic injunctions are called ishta. Other philanthropic deeds such as distributing we
