Verse 3.79
Sanskrit text and transliteration:
सर्वात्मत्वादिमाँल्लोकान्पश्यन्नात्मतया बुधः ।
एतद्ब्रह्म समं साम गायन्नास्ते कृतार्थतः ॥ ७९ ॥
sarvātmatvādimāँllokānpaśyannātmatayā budhaḥ |
etadbrahma samaṃ sāma gāyannāste kṛtārthataḥ || 79 ||
English translation of verse 3.79:
The wise man, seeing all these worlds as the Self since he is himself the all, and having the satisfaction that he has achieved everything, remains singing about Brahman which is sāma, i.e., equal (non-different from everything).
Notes:
This verse explains the śruti text etat sāma gāyannāste. Brahman is called sāma, i.e, equal, because it is all, because everything is non-different from it (samatvād-brahmaiva sāma, sarvānanyarūpam[?]). The “traversing” of the liberated man through the worlds must be understood in the sense of “seeing” or experiencing all the things of the universe in accordance with the principle gatyarthā buddhyarthā. Here anusañcaraṇa [anusañcaraṇam] means anubhavamātra [anubhavamātram].
