धनुर् गृहीत्वौपनिषदं महास्त्रं
शरं ह्युपासा निशितं सन्धयीत ।
आयम्य तद्भावगतेन चेतसा
लक्ष्यं तदेवाक्षरं सोम्य विद्धि ॥ ३॥
dhanur gṛhītvaupaniṣadaṃ mahāstraṃ
śaraṃ hyupāsā niśitaṃ sandhayīta .
āyamya tadbhāvagatena cetasā
lakṣyaṃ tadevākṣaraṃ somya viddhi .. 3..
Take the Upanishad as the bow, the great weapon and place upon it the arrow sharpened by meditation. Then, having drawn it back with a mind directed to the thought of Brahman, strike that mark, O my good friend-that which is the Imperishable.
