我が主よ、あなたは御力を無数の姿として顕されます。胎生・卵生・汗生の生きものとして、また大地から生ずる草木として、動くものと動かぬものすべてとして――デーヴァ、天の聖仙、ピトリ（祖霊）や諸存在、さらには諸感官として。さらに虚空として、上位の世界として、そして山・川・海・大洋・島々を備えたこの地として、また惑星や星宿としても。これらは皆あなたの諸エネルギーの顕現にすぎませんが、本源においてあなたは唯一無二であり、あなたを超えるものはありません。ゆえにこの宇宙は虚偽ではなく、あなたの不可思議な力の一時の現れなのです。
This verse completely rejects the theory of brahma satyaṁ jagan mithyā, which states that spirit, or Brahman, is real, whereas the manifested material world, with its great variety of things, is false. Nothing is false. One thing may be permanent and another temporary, but both the permanent and the temporary are facts. For example, if someone becomes angry for a certain period, no one can say that his anger is false. It is simply temporary. Everything we experience in our daily lives is of this same character; it is temporary but real.
