Academic Translation

The own (Self) does not shine as one’s own, due to the expansion/activity of the inner organ (antaḥkaraṇa). With the destruction (cessation) of the inner organ, Hari abides as mere consciousness alone.

Verse Context

• Avidyā via antaḥkaraṇa-vṛtti; cessation of mind for recognition of Ātman as pure consciousness (saṃvit-mātra)
• Mahavakya: Supports «प्रज्ञानं ब्रह्म» (Prajñānaṃ brahma) by equating ultimate reality with pure consciousness; also harmonizes with «तत् त्वम् असि» by implying the Self is that consciousness when mental superimposition ceases.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
