Kaṭha Upaniṣad 2.3.8

KaU 2.3.8

अव्यक्तात् तु परः पुरुषो व्यापको ऽलिङ्ग एव च । यं ज्ञात्वा मुच्यते जन्तुर् अमृतत्वं च गच्छति

avyaktāt tu paraḥ puruṣo vyāpako 'liṅga eva ca / yaṃ jñātvā mucyate jantur amṛtatvaṃ ca gacchati

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

Beyond the Unmanifested is the all-pervading and imperceptible Being (Purusha). By knowing Him, the mortal is liberated and attains immortality.
