स यथेमा नध्यः स्यन्दमानाः समुद्रायणाः समुद्रं प्राप्यास्तं गच्छन्ति भिध्येते तासां नामरुपे समुद्र इत्येवं प्रोच्यते । एवमेवास्य परिद्रष्टुरिमाः षोडशकलाः पुरुषायणाः पुरुषं प्राप्यास्तं गच्छन्ति भिध्येते चासां नामरुपे पुरुष इत्येवं प्रोच्यते स एषोऽकलोऽमृतो भवति तदेष श्लोकः ॥

जैसे इन नदियों का जल समुद्र में मिल जाता है और वे अपने अलग-अलग नाम और रूपों को खो देती हैं, बस समुद्र हो जाती हैं, उसी तरह, जो लोग पुरुषायण पथ पर निकलते हैं, वे परम पुरुष को प्राप्त करते हैं और उनसे एक हो जाते हैं, अपनी अलग-अलग पहचान को खो देते हुए बस "पुरुष" कहलाते हैं। यह अमृतत्व की अंतिम स्थिति है। यह श्लोक है।Just as these rivers, flowing from different directions, merge into the ocean and lose their individual names and forms, being called simply “ocean,” similarly, those who undertake the journey of Purushayana, the path of the Supreme Person, attain the Supreme Person and become one with Him, losing their individuality and being known simply as “Purusha.” This is the ultimate state of immortality. This is the verse.
