Translation

Sa pagkakaiba ng guro at alagad at iba pa, Brahman lamang ang lumilitaw. Sa pagtanaw ng katotohanan, tanging Brahman—dalisay at nag-iisa—ang umiiral.

Through the division of guru and disciple and the like, Brahman alone appears. In the vision of truth, Brahman alone—pure and sole—exists.

Verse Context

• Non-duality sublating relational dualities; pedagogical duality (guru–śiṣya) as provisional
• Mahavakya: Aligns with ‘tat tvam asi’ by dissolving teacher–taught duality into identity in tattva-darśana
• Atharva
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
