sa brahmā sa śivaḥ sendraḥ so'kṣaraḥ paramaḥ svarāṭ |
sa eva viṣṇuḥ sa prāṇaḥ sa kālo'gniḥ sa candramāḥ ||
അവൻ തന്നെയാണ് ബ്രഹ്മാ; അവൻ തന്നെയാണ് ശിവൻ; അവൻ തന്നെയാണ് ഇന്ദ്രസഹിതൻ; അവൻ അക്ഷരൻ, പരമൻ, സ്വരാട്—സ്വയംഭരണാധിപൻ. അവൻ തന്നെയാണ് വിഷ്ണു; അവൻ തന്നെയാണ് പ്രാണൻ; അവൻ തന്നെയാണ് കാലം; അവൻ തന്നെയാണ് അഗ്നി; അവൻ തന്നെയാണ് ചന്ദ്രൻ.
He is Brahmā; He is Śiva; He is (with) Indra; He is the imperishable; the supreme, self-ruling (sovereign). He indeed is Viṣṇu; He is prāṇa; He is Time; (He is) Fire; He is the Moon.
