IAST Transliteration

vārivat sphuritaṃ tasmiṃs tatrāhaṃkṛtir utthitā | pañcātmakam abhūt piṇḍaṃ dhātubaddhaṃ guṇātmakam ||10||

Translation

في ذلك المبدأ كان ارتعاشٌ كارتعاش الماء؛ وهناك نهضت فكرةُ «الأنا» (أهَنْكْرِتي). وصار الجسدُ المتكثّف (پِنْدَه) ذا طبيعةٍ خماسية، مقيَّدًا بعناصر البدن (الدهاتوه) ومؤلَّفًا من الغونات.

Academic Translation

In that (principle) there was a quivering, as of water; there the I-notion (ahaṃkṛti) arose. The embodied mass (piṇḍa) became fivefold in nature, bound by the bodily constituents (dhātus) and constituted of the guṇas.

Verse Context

• Ahaṃkāra (ego-sense) and the emergence of the body-mind from prakṛti/guṇas
• Mahavakya: Indirectly supports “ahaṃ brahmāsmi” by distinguishing the arising ego/body from the underlying reality; points to disidentification from ahaṃkāra.
• Krishna Yajurveda
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
