Ngài là đấng ban cho tất cả, khắp mọi nơi, chính là tất cả; ngự trong tim của mọi loài hữu tình. Thân Ngài được rắc tro thánh (bhasma), và được trang nghiêm bởi vòng tóc bện (jaṭā).

This verse presents bhasma and jaṭā as sacred identifiers of the ascetic, world-transcending Lord—signs of renunciation and spiritual power, while affirming his inner presence in all beings.
By stating that the Lord abides in every heart, it frames liberation and right living as rooted in inner remembrance and devotion to the indwelling divine, not merely external identity.
Cultivate daily remembrance that the Divine dwells in all hearts—supporting non-violence, compassion, and disciplined living; external marks of devotion should align with inner purity and restraint.
