IAST Transliteration

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

Translation

En ce principe, il y eut un frémissement semblable à l’eau ; là s’éleva la notion du « moi » (ahaṃkṛti). La masse incarnée (piṇḍa) devint de nature quintuple, liée par les dhātus du corps et constituée des guṇas.

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)
