译文
Yājñavalkya said: “The ferrying one is the long ‘anala’ with the dot before it, then māyā, ‘namaḥ’ — ‘to the Moon a bow’, ‘to the Good one a bow’. These, made of Brahman, named being, consciousness and bliss — they are to be honoured.”

The answer is given, and given half in code, as it was in the fourth Upaniṣad of the pūrva.
The parts of the mantra are named in its own manner: dīrgha-anala — “the long fire”, bindu — the dot, māyā — the feminine principle. Assembled, this is the six-syllable mantra of Rāma, which the third paragraph will parse letter by letter.
But something else is more remarkable. The mantra is at once named brahmātmikā — “made of Brahman” — and sac-cid-ānanda-ākhyā — “named being, consciousness and bliss”.
These are the same three words with which the eighth verse of the fifth Upaniṣad named the form of Rāma: sac-cid-ānanda-rūpa. There they were said of the form; here — of the sounds.
It comes out that the form and the mantra are described by one and the same definition. And this is exactly what the second verse of the fourth Upaniṣad asserted outright: “the mantra is Rāma the signifier, and Rāma is the signified”.
Note also the word upāsitavyam — “must be honoured”. The mantra is not communicated as information: it is handed over for practice.
And further: it is said “to the Moon a bow, to the Good one a bow”. Both names — Candra and Bhadra — attend Rāma in the tradition, and the second we read in the fifteenth verse of the fourth Upaniṣad, where the gods called Him rāmabhadra.
