Asato Mā Verification

[rramphal]

<itrans>Hi Everyone,</itrans><itrans>

</itrans>

<itrans>Regarding the </itrans>Asato Mā mantra from <i><sourcetext><itrans>Bṛhadāraṇyakopaniṣat</itrans></sourcetext> </i><sourcecite>1.3.28, is the last line "</sourcecite>mṛtyor māmṛtaṃ gamayeti" or is it "mṛtyor māmṛtaṃ gamaya"? I see gamaya more, but I have also seen gamayeti.

 

Thanks for any help,

Ravi

"mṛtyor māmṛtaṃ gamaya" is the correct wording. It is possible that this combined with the word "iti" in the text and thus becomes gamayeti. But this does not make sense.

Thank you very much!
