न तस्य कार्यं करणं च विद्यते न तत्समश्चाभ्यधिकश्च दृश्यते | पराऽस्य शक्तिर्विविधैव श्रूयते स्वाभाविकी ज्ञानबलक्रिया च " ( श्वे. उ. ६ - ८ ) इत्येवमाद्या: औपनिषदाः प्रमाणविशेषाः उदाहर्तव्या: ॥
COMMENTARY-SUMMARY TRANSLATION
The hands of this Purusha, which are full of the faculties of strength and varied function, and the feet which are capable of going, not going, coming and not coming, his Pranas capable of living, supporting the body and so on, and the living persons and all those bodies with their indwelling souls, from mortals to immortals, are all his own like his own senses and various limbs. Further, existence before creation, existence thereafter, and all existence in future are his own. This universe of his is endless. It is beyond imagination and thought. Cf. "He has neither actions nor instruments of action. Nor is there any one equal to him nor superior to him. It is said that his supreme power is, indeed, manifold, natural and exists in the form of knowledge, strength and function " ( Svet. Up. VI- 8). This quotation and others in the Upanishads can be cited as special evidence.

Oh! Bhagavan, show me within myself that Omnifarious form of yours which is all-pervasive; by giving me the power to concentrate, endow me with the capacity to realise you who are worthy of being seen, that is the light par excellence which illumines the whole universe.
