Realising thyself in the assemblage (of body, sense organs ahamkāra, form etc.) as pure intelligence, free from all wrong ideas, like the king in the army, being ever established in thy own self, merge everything that is seen (the entire universe) in Brahman.
Like the king who is identified in the army which is made up of many soldiers by the emblems of the umbrella etc., realising the ātman by your understanding in this combination of the body, the senses, the breath and the ego-sense, as purified truth, as pure intelligence which illumines everything and as unconnected with whatever is seen, be securely established always in that cit which is your ātman. brahmani drśyajātam vilāpaya: merge all that is seen in Brahman in accord with the declaration: "Merge the earth in water, the water in fire, fire in the wind (vāyu), the wind in the sky, the sky in the unmanifest, that again in pure ātman. I am that Hari, the Pure":.
