Academic Translation

Make (it) conjoined with pleasure and pain by the notion of individuality (jīva-bhāvanā). Therefore the designation ‘jīva’ is declared by the purified (sages) with reference to the Supreme Self (paramātman).

Verse Context

• Adhyāsa (superimposition) and jīva as an attributed identity of the paramātman
• Mahavakya: Clarifies the gap between apparent individuality and the Supreme Self, preparing the insight of identity in “tat tvam asi” (you are That) by showing jīva as a conceptual imputation.
• Krishna Yajurveda
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
