Recitation with translationMudgala Upanishad 1.8

tasmād iti ca mantreṇa jagat-sṛṣṭiḥ samīritā | veda aham iti mantrābhyāṃ vaibhavaṃ kathitaṃ hareḥ ||

“तस्मात्” इत्यादिमन्त्रेण जगतः सृष्टिः समीरिता; “वेद” तथा “अहम्” इति द्वाभ्यां मन्त्राभ्यां हरेर्वैभवं कथितम्।

And by the mantra beginning “tasmād…,” the creation of the world is declared; by the two mantras (beginning) “veda” and “aham,” the majesty (vaibhava) of Hari is stated.

Jagat-sṛṣṭi (emanation) and īśvara-vaibhava; Brahman/Hari as source and inner ‘I’Mahavakya: Indirect—‘aham’ language can be read as pointing toward self-identity teaching (ahaṃ-bodha), but here framed theistically as Hari’s vaibhava rather than an explicit Mahāvākya.AtharvaChandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka-style)
