IAST Transliteration

ekamātras tathākāśo hy ardhāmātraṃ tu cintayet | siddhiṃ kṛtvā tu manasā cintayed ātmanātmani ||32||

Translation

Cũng vậy, hư không (ākāśa) có một mātrā; và nên quán niệm nửa-mātrā. Khi đã thành tựu (siddhi) bằng tâm, hãy quán chiếu Chân Ngã bằng chính mình, trong Chân Ngã.

Academic Translation

Likewise, space (ākāśa) is of one mātrā; and one should contemplate the half-mātrā. Having effected accomplishment (siddhi) with the mind, one should contemplate the Self by the self, in the Self.

Verse Context

• Ātma-dhyāna leading to samādhi (Self-abidance)
• Mahavakya: Closest in spirit to 'ayam ātmā brahma' and 'tat tvam asi' as an instruction to internalize identity with the Self; still expressed as yogic method rather than explicit mahāvākya citation.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
