Subtler than the subtle, greater than the great
अणु से भी सूक्ष्म, महान् से भी महान् — यह आत्मा इस जीव के हृदय की गुहा में छिपा है। जो कामना-रहित और शोक-रहित है, वह धातु (विधाता) के प्रसाद से आत्मा की यह महिमा देखता है।
Subtler than the subtlest, greater than the greatest — the Ātman of this being is hidden in the cave of the heart. The one free of desires and free of sorrow sees that majesty, through the grace of the Creator.
