शृण्वन्तु निर्जराः सर्वे व्याहर्न्त्या वचो मम |
यस्य श्रवणमात्रेण मद्रूपत्वं प्रपद्यते || १ ||
śṛṇvantu nirjarāḥ sarve vyāharntyā vaco mama |
yasya śravaṇa-mātreṇa mad-rūpa-tvaṃ prapadyate || 1 ||
1. "May all the gods attend to what I have to say. By merely hearing these words of mine, one attains My essential nature."
अहम्वेवास पूर्वं तु नान्यत् किञ्चिन्नगाधिप |
तदात्मरूपं चित्संवित् परब्रह्मैकनामकम् || २ ||
aham-evevāsa pūrvaṃ tu nānyat kiñcin-nagādhipa |
tadātma-rūpaṃ cit-saṃvit parabrahmaika-nāmakam || 2 ||
2. "I alone existed in the beginning; there was nothing else at all, O Mountain King. My true Self is known as pure consciousness, the highest intelligence, the one supreme Brahman. "
