Mundaka Upanishad – Mundaka 3 – Chapter 2 – Verse 8   «   »

यथा नद्यः स्यन्दमानाः समुद्रेऽ
स्तं गच्छन्ति नामरूपे विहाय ।
तथा विद्वान् नामरूपाद्विमुक्तः
परात्परं पुरुषमुपैति दिव्यम् ॥ ८॥
yathā nadyaḥ syandamānāḥ samudre’
staṃ gacchanti nāmarūpe vihāya .
tathā vidvān nāmarūpādvimuktaḥ
parātparaṃ puruṣamupaiti divyam .. 8..
8 As flowing rivers disappear in the sea, losing their names and forms, so a wise man, freed from name and form, attains the Purusha, who is greater than the Great.

Sri Shankara’s Commentary (Bhashya) translated by S. Sitarama Sastri

Com.—Moreover, just as flowing streams such as the Granges and the rest having reached the sea give up their distinct individuality in it, losing both their names and form, so, the knower being freed from name and form, created by ignorance, reaches the resplendent purusha above defined, who is beyond the avyakta already explained.
