Translation
Wika ni Vāsudeva: “Sa puso ng mga nilalang, si Bhagavān Śaṅkara—si Maheśvara—ay nananahan bilang prāṇa (hininga ng buhay), bilang isip, at bilang jīva (sariling kaluluwa). Siya ang mismong yoga, Siya ang yogi, Siya ang dhyāna (pagmumuni), at Siya ang Paramātman. Si Maheśvara ay natatanto lamang sa pamamagitan ng bhakti—sa pusong may debosyon.”
