IsU 3 — Īśa Upaniṣad

IsU 3

असुर्या नाम ते लोका अन्धेन तमसाऽऽवृताः । ताँस्ते प्रेत्याभिगच्छन्ति ये के चात्महनो जनाः

asuryā nāma te lokā andhena tamasāvṛtāḥ | tāṃste pretyābhigacchanti ye ke cātmahano janāḥ

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

After leaving their bodies, they who have killed the Self go to the worlds of the Asuras, covered with blinding ignorance.

Translated by Swami Paramananda

There are the worlds of the Asuras covered with blind darkness. Those who have destroyed their self (who perform works, without having arrived at a knowledge of the true Self), go after death to those worlds.

Translated by F. Max Müller
