COMMENTARY-SUMMARY TRANSLATION This internal soul of all is one; he is like the seed of all. He is the very embodiment of all knowledge of all types. He contains the very seed of this universe. He is the Indra, full of supreme riches. He shines brilliantly with his friendly troop of Maruts, with his power of lightning, with waters containing the very essence of life, and with all life forces. He manifests himself in all these forms.
He vibrates as pure energy. He flashes with his internal power of light. Even by name, he is Taijasa ( brilliance), famous in the Upanishads. Cf.: “While in dream, he is awake internally, enjoys divine happiness other than the worldly one, and is known as Taijasa” (Mand. Up. 4). He is in the navel region within the body; externally, he is in the mid-air. "From navel, midair was born" (Rg. X-90-14). He supports this visible body. He belongs to Rudra, who is the father of Maruts and who is the very form of life.
