അവൻ തന്നെയാണ് സർവ്വഭൂതങ്ങളുടെ അന്തരാത്മാവായ സനാതന പുരുഷൻ. അവൻ തന്നെയാണ് മനസ്സ്, ബുദ്ധി, അഹങ്കാരം; ഭൂതതത്ത്വങ്ങളും ഇന്ദ്രിയവിഷയങ്ങളും അവൻ തന്നേ॥

FAQs
It teaches that the Supreme Puruṣa is not separate from experience: He is the inner Self of all beings and also appears as mind, intellect, ego, elements, and sense-objects—pointing to liberation through seeing one Reality everywhere.
By identifying the Puruṣa as the indwelling Self of all, it supports bhakti as all-pervading remembrance—devotion becomes continuous when one worships the Lord within every being and in every experience.
No specific Vedāṅga technique is taught in this verse; the practical takeaway is Viveka (discernment): observe mind, intellect, and ego as manifestations within the Supreme Self to reduce attachment and support sādhana.
