चिज्जडानां तु यो द्रष्टा सोऽच्युतो ज्ञानविग्रहः । स एव हि महादेवः स एव हि महाहरिः ॥४॥

चित्-जडानाम् तु यः द्रष्टा सः अच्युतः ज्ञान-विग्रहः । सः एव हि महा-देवः सः एव हि महा-हरिः ॥४॥

Recitation with translationSkanda Upanishad 4

cijjaḍānāṃ tu yo draṣṭā so 'cyuto jñānavigrahaḥ | sa eva hi mahādevaḥ sa eva hi mahāhariḥ ||4||

ແຕ່ຜູ້ໃດເປັນຜູ້ເຫັນເປັນພະຍານ (ດຣັສຕາ) ຕໍ່ທັງສິ່ງມີຈິດ ແລະ ສິ່ງເຉື່ອຍ—ຜູ້ນັ້ນແມ່ນ ອະຈຸຕະ ຜູ້ບໍ່ເສື່ອມສູນ ຜູ້ມີຮູບເປັນຍານ. ທ່ານນັ້ນແທ້ແມ່ນ ມະຫາເທວະ; ທ່ານນັ້ນແທ້ແມ່ນ ມະຫາຫຣິ.

But he who is the seer (witness) of the conscious and the inert—he is the imperishable (Acyuta), whose very form is knowledge. He alone indeed is Mahādeva; he alone indeed is Mahāhari.
