उपद्रष्टानुमन्ता च भर्ता भोक्ता महेश्वर: |

परमात्मेति चाप्युक्तो देहेऽस्मिन्पुरुष: पर: ||22||

Upadraṣhṭānumantā cha bhartā bhoktā maheśhvaraḥ

🔴 In this body there is also the Transcendent and the Supreme Spirit, who is described as the Supreme Self and Sovereign Lord, the unconcerned Witness, the Sanctioner, the Supporter, and the Enjoyer.

य एवं वेत्ति पुरुषं प्रकृतिं च गुणै: सह |

सर्वथा वर्तमानोऽपि न स भूयोऽभिजायते ||23||

Ya evaṁ vetti puruṣhaṁ prakṛitiṁ cha guṇaiḥ saha

sarvathā vartamāno ’pi na sa bhūyo ’bhijāyate ||23||
