Translation
Vāsudeva dijo: «En el corazón de los seres, el Bienaventurado Śaṅkara—Maheśvara—mora como prāṇa (aliento vital), como mente y como jīva (alma individual). Él es la esencia del yoga, el yogui, la meditación y el Paramātman. A Maheśvara sólo se le aprehende por bhakti: por la devoción del corazón.»
