निरुपममनादितत्त्वं त्वमहमिदमद इति कल्पनाद्दूरम् । नित्यानन्दैकरसं सत्यं ब्रह्माद्वितीयमेवाहम् ॥ ४९४ ॥ nirupamam anāditattvam tvam aham idam ada iti
kalpanaduram nityanandaikarasam satyam brahmadvitiyamevāham 11
I am the non-dual Brahman which is without anything like it, the beginningless truth, beyond all imagined distinctions of 'thou', 'I', 'this' and 'that', of the nature of uniform permanent bliss and the supreme Truth.

नारायणोऽहं नरकान्तकोऽहं पुरान्तकोऽहं पुरुषोऽहमीशः । अखण्डबोधोऽहमशेषसाक्षी निरीश्वरोऽहं निरहंममश्च ।। ४९५ ।।
nārāyaṇo'ham narakantako'ham
puräntako'ham puruso'hamiśaḥ
akhandabodho'hamaseṣasākṣi
niriśvaro'ham nirahammamaś ca 11
I am Nārāyaṇa; I am the slayer of Naraka; I am the slayer of Tripurasura; I am the supreme Purușa, the Lord; I am the infinite Intelligence; I am the witness of all; I am not subject to a higher ruler; I am without the sense of 'I' or the 'mine'.
niriśvaro'ham:
I have no (higher) Ruler: vide the Brahma Sūtra: ata eva cananyādhipatiḥ: "And for this very same reason (the released soul is) without another lord."

I alone abide in all beings, in the form of knowledge (or the knower) as their internal support. I am myself
