वेदनात्मा न सोऽस्त्यन्य इति या प्रतिभा स्थिरा ।
एषाऽविद्या भ्रमस्त्वेष स च संसार आततः ॥ ८ ॥

vedanātmā na so'styanya iti yā pratibhā sthirā |
eṣā'vidyā bhramastveṣa sa ca saṃsāra ātataḥ || 8 ||

There is no intelligent soul beside this one, and all else is the everlasting reflection of this one alone; This it is which is styled ignorance and error, and the world also.
