In diesem Zustand wird man (von Fesseln) befreit oder gelangt zum wahren Sein; denn seine Natur breitet sich in der Gestalt des Selbst aus, durch die Tattvas in ihren eigenen Formen, die entsprechende Gestalten annehmen als die Aśvins, der Mond, das Feuer, die Sonne, der Wind und die Erde.
Unspecified (context not provided for this single verse)
Concept: Liberation is the diffusion of limited identity into ātma-svarūpa, harmonizing with the cosmic tattvas and their presiding deities.
Application: Contemplate the sacredness of natural forces (sun, wind, fire, earth) as expressions of divine order; cultivate steadiness and non-separateness without losing devotion.

FAQs
It links liberation or true becoming with realizing the Self (ātman), describing how one’s nature is understood as pervading and expressed through fundamental principles (tattvas) that appear in cosmic forms like the Sun, Moon, Fire, Wind, and Earth.
They function as emblematic cosmic manifestations of underlying principles (tattvas). The verse suggests that these principles can be contemplated in their corresponding forms as part of understanding the Self’s pervading nature.
This verse is primarily jñāna-oriented (knowledge/metaphysics): it speaks in terms of tattvas, forms, and the Self’s nature, rather than devotion, ritual, or personal deity worship.
