अहं सर्वस्य प्रभवो मत्तः सर्वं प्रवर्तते ।इति मत्वा भजन्ते मां बुधा भावसमन्विताः ॥
ahaṃ sarvasya prabhavo mattaḥ sarvaṃ pravartate |iti matvā bhajante māṃ budhā bhāvasamanvitāḥ ||
I am the source of all; from me everything moves forward. Knowing this, the wise worship me with their hearts full of feeling.
मैं सबका मूल हूँ, मुझसे ही सब कुछ चलता है। यह जानकर बुद्धिमान लोग भाव से भरकर मुझे भजते हैं।
मी सर्वांचा उगम आहे, माझ्यापासूनच सर्व प्रवृत्त होते. हे जाणून ज्ञानी लोक भावपूर्ण होऊन मला भजतात.
In Sanskrit, sounds at word edges merge (sandhi), so a line looks like one long word. Split it to see each word and its meaning.
अहं सर्वस्य प्रभवो मत्तः सर्वं प्रवर्तते ।इति मत्वा भजन्ते मां बुधा भावसमन्विताः ॥
एतां विभूतिं योगं च मम यो वेत्ति तत्त्वतः ।
Whoever truly knows this glory and power of mine becomes joined to me in unshakable yoga. Of this there is no doubt.
10.9मच्चित्ता मद्गतप्राणा बोधयन्तः परस्परम् ।
With minds on me and lives given to me, they awaken one another, always speak about me, and find contentment and joy.
