ekamātras tathākāśo hy ardhāmātraṃ tu cintayet | siddhiṃ kṛtvā tu manasā cintayed ātmanātmani ||32||

Translation

Ebenso ist ākāśa (Raum) von einer Mātrā; und man soll die halbe Mātrā betrachten. Nachdem man mit dem Geist Siddhi bewirkt hat, soll man das Selbst durch sich selbst, im Selbst, kontemplieren.

Academic Translation

Likewise, space (ākāśa) is of one mātrā; and one should contemplate the half-mātrā. Having effected accomplishment (siddhi) with the mind, one should contemplate the Self by the self, in the Self.

Verse Context

• Ātma-dhyāna leading to samādhi (Self-abidance)
• Mahavakya: Closest in spirit to 'ayam ātmā brahma' and 'tat tvam asi' as an instruction to internalize identity with the Self; still expressed as yogic method rather than explicit mahāvākya citation.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
