39. akṣaratvam niyaccheta tyaktvā kṣaram
anāmayam avyaktam vyaktadharmāṇam
saguṇam nirguṇam tathā nirguṇam

akṣaratvam niyaccheta prathamam nirguṇam dṛṣṭvā,
tādṛk bhavati

39. Having abandoned the perishable (kṣaram), the conditioned state of being 'untroubled' (anāmayam), the unmanifest (avyaktam) which has manifest properties (vyaktadharmāṇam), and (all that is) with qualities (saguṇam) as well as (all that is considered) without qualities (nirguṇam) [all aspects of conditioned existence], one should secure imperishability (akṣaratvam). O Maithila, by first perceiving the truly transcendent (nirguṇam), one becomes like that.
