The diagram is finished, and the book says what comes of it.
The first word is sarvātmaka, “embracing everything”. It is justified: we have seen that into this circle are inscribed Sītā, and Hanumān, and the ministers, and the whole alphabet, and the thirty-three gods, and the underworld serpents.
Then the fruits are listed, and listed in an order worth noting: first mokṣa — liberation, then long life and health.
The order is not accidental. We have seen it elsewhere: the chief thing is named first, and the rest is appended.
And yet the rest is named. The book does not pretend that people come to it only for liberation; it knows that a man wants to live and not be ill, and does not count that wish shameful.
The word sevaka — “the one who serves” — is telling too. Not “the knower” and not “the drawer”: the one who serves.
Recall that in the diagram the nearest to Rāma stood Hanumān, named “the listener”, and the first circle formed around Sītā on His knee. The fruit is promised to the same kind of people.
The next two verses will finish the fruits and close the Upaniṣad with a prohibition.
