1. Who art thou, my child, and whose, and whither goest thou? What is thy name, and whence art thou come? Tell me all this clearly to gladden me,-thou fillest my heart with glad. ness."
2. 'I am not a man nor & god nor a demigod, no Brahman, Kshatriya, Vaisya, nor Śndra; no student, nor householder, nor anchorite, nor religious mendicant; innate Knowledge am I.
3. That which is the cause of the action of mind, eye, and the rest, as the sun is the cause
• I. O. Lib. MS. reads siddhachetan. . antanuikaprithak. Oomm.
• The MS. Comm. takes it differently "that which being itself one, unchangeable, and essentially eternal know.
of the movements of living beings, but which itself is void of all conditioning diaguises, like the infinite ether,-that Soul, essentially eternal perception, am I.
4. That which being itself one, unchangeable, and essentially eternal knowledge (ns fire is essentially heat), is the substratum which bears, as they act, the mind, eye, and the rest, which are mere Ignorance", that Soul, oggen tially eternal perception, am I.
5. The reflection of the face seen in the mirror is nothing in itself as separated from the face, so is the personal soul in itself nothing, the reflection of Intelligence on the internal organ,--that Soul, essentially eternal perception, am I.
6. As the reflection vanishes when the mirror is not, and the face remains alone, apart from all delasion, so that Soul which remains without a reflection when the understanding is not, -that Soul, essentially eternal perception, am I.
7. That which abiding aloof from mind, eyo, and the rest, is itself mind, eye, and the rest to mind, eye, and the rest, and whose nature mind, eye, and the rest cannot reach,that Soul, essentially eternal perception, am I.
8. That which, being one, shines forth selfmanifested, possessing pure intelligence, and itself essential light, and which yet appears as though variously modified in various internal organs, as the one sun shines reflected in the water of different vessels-that Soul, essentially eternal perception, am I.
9. As the sun, illumining countless eyes, illumines at the same moment the object to each, so that Soul, the one intelligence, which illumines countless internal organs,-that Soul, essentially eternal perception, am I.
10. As the bodily sense illumined by the sun grasps the form of the object, but when unillumined grasps it not, so that by which the one sun must be itself illumined to illumine the sense,--that Soul, essentially eternal perception, am I.
11. As the one sun seems many in the agitated waters, and even when reflected in still waters must be yet recognized as really separate, so that which, though really one, ledge, is the substratam which bears they act, the mind, eye and the rest, which are mere ignorance, the fire is the substratum that bears the heat, that Soal, nontially, &c."
