यो ह्यंशयुक्तो न तु सोंत्यो विशेष एवं ममाभाति वचस्तु तथ्यम्
yo hyaṃśayukto na tu soṃtyo viśeṣa evaṃ mamābhāti vacastu tathyam
Pois, para aquele que é dotado de uma porção (aṃśa) do Supremo, em verdade não há separação final nem diferença absoluta. Assim me parece; e esta afirmação é, de fato, verdadeira.
Lord Vishnu
Concept: If endowed with a portion of the Supreme (aṃśa-yukta), there is no absolute final separation (carama-viśeṣa) in truth—difference is not ultimate.
Vedantic Theme: Bhedābheda/abheda orientation: distinctions are empirical; ultimate reality is non-separate from its manifestations; dependence of parts on the Whole.
Application: Reduce divisive thinking: see shared ground beneath differences; in study, distinguish empirical classifications from ultimate unity; in life, practice inclusivity grounded in metaphysical kinship.
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta

FAQs
This verse emphasizes that the individual soul, being connected to the Supreme as an aṁśa, is not ultimately cut off by a final, absolute difference—supporting a liberation-oriented view of spiritual identity.
By stating there is no ultimate separation for the aṁśa-yukta jiva, the verse points beyond temporary states and distinctions toward the soul’s final truth—union/identity with the Supreme as the culmination of spiritual progress.
Live with the conviction that spiritual identity is deeper than changing circumstances: practice devotion, self-discipline, and ethical conduct (dharma) as expressions of one’s connection to the Supreme.
