सर्वस्य चाहं हृदि संनिविष्टोमत्तः स्मृतिर्ज्ञानमपोहनं च ।वेदैश्च सर्वैरहमेव वेद्योवेदान्तकृद्वेदविदेव चाहम् ॥
sarvasya cāhaṃ hṛdi saṃniviṣṭomattaḥ smṛtirjñānamapohanaṃ ca |vedaiśca sarvairahameva vedyovedāntakṛdvedavideva cāham ||
I am seated in the hearts of all. From me come memory, knowledge and their loss. I am what is to be known through all the Vedas; I am the author of Vedanta and the knower of the Vedas.
मैं सबके हृदय में बसा हूँ। मुझसे ही स्मृति, ज्ञान और उनका खो जाना होता है। सब वेदों से जानने योग्य मैं ही हूँ; वेदांत का कर्ता और वेदों को जानने वाला भी मैं ही हूँ।
मी सर्वांच्या हृदयात वसलेलो आहे. माझ्यापासूनच स्मृती, ज्ञान आणि त्यांचा लोप होतो. सर्व वेदांनी जाणण्याजोगा मीच आहे; वेदांताचा कर्ता आणि वेद जाणणाराही मीच आहे.
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.
सर्वस्य चाहं हृदि संनिविष्टोमत्तः स्मृतिर्ज्ञानमपोहनं च ।वेदैश्च सर्वैरहमेव वेद्योवेदान्तकृद्वेदविदेव चाहम् ॥
अहं वैश्वानरो भूत्वा प्राणिनां देहमाश्रितः ।
Becoming the fire of digestion, Vaishvanara, I live in the bodies of living beings, and joined with the in-breath and out-breath, I digest the four kinds of food.
15.16द्वाविमौ पुरुषौ लोके क्षरश्चाक्षर एव च ।
There are two kinds of purusha (being) in this world: the perishable and the imperishable. All creatures are the perishable; the unchanging one is called the imperishable.
