With the Ṛgveda one reaches this world; with the Yajurveda, the intermediate space; with the Sāmaveda, what the sages know. By Oṅkāra as the sole support, the wise one reaches that which is peaceful, free from decay, immortal, fearless, and also the Supreme.

The fifth praśna culminates with this synthesis:

The three Vedas lead to different destinies:

• Ṛgveda → this world (earth)
• Yajurveda → the intermediate space
• Sāmaveda → what the kavis (sages/poets) know (celestial worlds)

But by Oṅkāra as sole āyatana (support), the vidvān (knowing sage) reaches:

• Śānta — absolute peace
• Ajara — what does not age or decay
• Amṛta — immortality
• Abhaya — freedom from fear
• Paraṃ ca — and also the Supreme

The “also” (ca) indicates that one reaches both Brahman with attributes (saguṇa) and Brahman without attributes (nirguṇa), depending on the meditator’s disposition.

This is the supreme result of meditation on Om: not temporary worlds, but liberation itself.
