You have existed before the creation, O you first-born beings; you are manifest in this wonderful universe of five elements. You are . infinite, you are the course of nature and intelligent Soul that pervades all. I desire to obtain you by the knowledge, derived from hearing and meditation, You are birds of beautiful feathers, that roost on the body which is likened to a tree. You are free from the three common attributes of all souls. You are beyond all comparison. You pervade the universe through its spirit in every created thing.
प्रपूर्वगौ पूर्वजौ चित्रभानू गिरा वाऽऽशंसामि तपसा ह्यनन्तौ। वधिक्षिपन्तौ भुवनानि विश्वा॥
