अन्तिम प्रार्थना · Chapter Overview
From The Īśa Upaniṣad, taught by Acharya T Krishnatrey. This lesson is free to read.
<pre data-block="statement">What these mantras cover | The Upaniṣad closes with the soul's prayer, traditionally read as the prayer of a dying person. Mantra 15 asks Pūṣan (the Sun) to lift the "golden disc" that hides the face of Truth. Mantra 16 asks the Sun to withdraw its dazzling rays so the seer may behold the Person within — and declares "so'ham asmi", "that Person am I". Mantra 17 releases the breath to the immortal air and the body to ashes, calling the mind to remember its deeds. Mantra 18 prays to Agni to lead by the good path.</pre>
