Translation
At the time of death, one who, being endowed with devotion, and having carefully fixed the vital force (prāṇa) at the ājñā-cakra through the power of yoga, meditates constantly with an undeviating mind on the Puruṣa, who is omniscient, beginningless, the primordial preceptor, subtler than the atom*, the universal sustainer, whose form transcends the limits of rationality, who is resplendent like the sun and beyond ignorance — such a person attains that Divine Supreme Person.
Notes
* In Indian philosophy, the word anu, translated here as “atom,” refers specifically to the smallest indivisible and, hence, partless unit of matter.
