3.2.1
sa vedaitat paramaṃ brahma dhāma yatra viśvaṃ nihitaṃ bhāti śubhram.
upāsate puruṣaṃ ye hy akāmās te śukram etad ativartanti dhīrāḥ.
1. He knows that Supreme Brahma-abode,
Founded on which the whole world shines radiantly.
They who, being without desire, worship the Person (Purusha)
And are wise, pass beyond the seed (_śukra_) [of rebirth] here.
2. He who in fancy forms desires,
Because of his desires is born [again] here and there.
But of him whose desire is satisfied, who is a perfected soul (_kṛtātman_),
All desires even here on earth vanish away.
