मयेदृशो गृहस्थाय ह्यात्माऽयं न निवेदितः । निर्विकारो निर्विषयो निरीहो निरुपद्रवः
mayedṛśo gṛhasthāya hyātmā'yaṃ na niveditaḥ | nirvikāro nirviṣayo nirīho nirupadravaḥ
میرے جیسے گھر گرہستی والے پر یہ آتما ظاہر نہ ہوئی—وہ آتما جو بے تغیر، حواس کے موضوعات سے ماورا، بے خواہش اور بے اضطراب ہے۔
Brāhmaṇa/sage (first-person lament; collective voice continuing)
