IsU 11 — Īśa Upaniṣad

IsU 11

विद्यां चाविद्यां च यस्तद्वेदोभयँ सह । अविद्यया मृत्युं तीर्त्वा विद्ययाऽमृतमश्नुते

vidyāṃ cāvidyāṃ ca yas tad vedobhayaṃ saha | avidyayā mṛtyuṃ tīrtvā vidyayāmṛtam aśnute

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

He who knows at the same time both Vidya and Avidya, crosses over death by Avidya and attains immortality through Vidya.

Translated by Swami Paramananda

He who knows at the same time both knowledge and not-knowledge, overcomes death through not-knowledge, and obtains immortality through knowledge.

Translated by F. Max Müller
