Those gods wished to know this Ātman, and the demonic sin seized them. They considered: “Come, let us swallow this demonic sin.” And this very one — the flash at the tip of the Oṁkāra, the fourth of the fourth, the Ātman — the terrible and the non-terrible, the valiant and the non-valiant, the great and the non-great, Viṣṇu and non-Viṣṇu, the blazing and the non-blazing, the one facing everywhere and not facing everywhere, the man-lion and the non-man-lion, the fearsome and the non-fearsome, the good and the non-good, the death of death and the non-death-of-death, the “I bow” and the “I bow not”, the “I” and the “non-I” — by the Nṛsiṃha anuṣṭubh they came to know; and that demonic sin became for them a mass of light of being, consciousness and bliss. Therefore let even the one whose impurity is not burnt away know this Ātman — the flash at the tip of the Oṁkāra, the fourth of the fourth — by the Nṛsiṃha anuṣṭubh: and the demonic sin will become for him a mass of light of being, consciousness and bliss. Those gods, wishing to cross beyond the light and seeing fear only from a second, sought out this Ātman by the anuṣṭubh and established themselves in him by the praṇava; and for them that light before all this became beautifully shining and non-shining, non-dual, unthinkable, markless, self-luminous, a mass of bliss, empty. Who so knows becomes himself self-luminous, the highest Brahman. And those gods, having risen up from the desire for sons, the desire for wealth and the desire for worlds with all their means — formless, possessionless, without the crown-lock, without the sacred thread, blind, deaf, dazed, impotent, mute, wandering as if mad — calmed, restrained, withdrawn, patient, collected, delighting in the Self, playing with the Self, having the Self for mate, blissful in the Self, knowing the praṇava as the highest Brahman, the self-shining of the Ātman, the empty, in it they came to completion. Therefore, following the vow of the gods, let him be established in the Oṁkāra, the highest Brahman: then he sees in himself himself, the highest Brahman.

The fifth khaṇḍa, and this is the best place in the whole uttara-tāpanī.
The gods wished to know the Ātman — and at once the āsuraḥ pāpmā, “the demonic sin”, seized them.
Note when it comes: not before, but precisely at the wish to know. So it happens.
And the gods did not fight it. They said: “come, let us swallow it” — grasāma, the same root as in īśvara-grāsa.
And how did they swallow it? By naming Him in pairs: the terrible and the non-terrible, the valiant and the non-valiant, Viṣṇu and non-Viṣṇu, the good and the non-good, “I” and “non-I”.
All eleven words of the mantra are run through with negation.
Here is the thought, and it is fine. While it is said “He is terrible”, there remains also “the non-terrible” — that which is not He; and in this gap duality lives, and with it fear. By adding to each name its negation, the gods took nothing from Him: they took from the gap its place.
And the consequence: the demonic sin “became for them a mass of light of being, consciousness and bliss”.
Not destroyed — transformed. This is real swallowing.
Then a proviso that does the book credit: apakva-kaṣāya — “whose impurity is not burnt away”. That is, even the not-yet-pure may do so.
And the khaṇḍa ends with a portrait familiar from the tenth and twelfth paragraphs of the Jābāla: without thread, without lock, blind, deaf, as if mad.
And what the Jābāla lacks: ātma-ratayaḥ ātma-krīḍāḥ ātma-mithunāḥ ātmānandāḥ — “delighting in the Self, playing with the Self, having the Self for mate, blissful in the Self”.
The word mithuna means “mate, pair”. Not “merged”: they have someone.
