IAST Transliteration

yena sarvam idaṃ protaṃ sūtre maṇigaṇā iva | tatsūtraṃ dhārayed yogī yogavid brāhmaṇo yatiḥ ||9||

Translation

Yang olehnya semua ini teruntai pada sūtra, bagaikan gugusan permata pada seutas benang—sūtra itu hendaknya dipegang dan dipelihara oleh yogin. Ia adalah yogavid, seorang brāhmaṇa, seorang yati (pertapa).

Academic Translation

That by which all this is strung (woven) together—like clusters of gems on a thread—that sūtra the yogin should hold (bear/maintain); (he is) the knower of yoga, the brāhmaṇa, the ascetic.

Verse Context

• Brahman as the inner ‘thread’ (sūtra) pervading and supporting the cosmos; dhāraṇā/nididhyāsana on the all-pervading principle
• Mahavakya: Conceptually consonant with ‘sarvaṃ khalv idaṃ brahma’ (Chāndogya) and with mahāvākya purport (non-dual Brahman as all); not a direct relation to the four canonical mahāvākyas.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
