एवं ब्रह्मात्मकमिदं यत्किंचिज्जगति स्थितम् ।
सदेवास्मि तदेवास्मि परिशोचामि किं मुधा ॥ १७ ॥

evaṃ brahmātmakamidaṃ yatkiṃcijjagati sthitam |
sadevāsmi tadevāsmi pariśocāmi kiṃ mudhā || 17 ||

Thus every thing in the world being full of the spirit of God, I am no other than that reality, and it is in vain that I think myself as otherwise, and sorrow for it.
