________________ VIVEKACŪDĀMANI The knowledge "I am Devadatta" does not depend on anything else. Likewise is the cognition: 'I am Brahman' for the Brahmavit (for one who has known i.e., realised Brahman). 534 भानुनेव जगत्सर्वं भासते यस्य तेजसा । अनात्मकमसत्तुच्छं किं नु तस्यावभासकम् ॥। ५३४ ॥ bhānuneva jagat sarvam bhāsate yasya tejasă | anātmakam asat tuccham kim nu tasyāvabhāsakam 11 What can be there to manifest that by whose lustre, as of the sun, shines all that is the anātman, asat ( unreal) and insignificant? 535 वेदशास्त्रपुराणानि भूतानि सकलान्यपि । येनार्थवन्ति तं किं नु विज्ञातारं प्रकाशयेत् ॥ ५३५ ॥ vedaśāstrapurāṇāni bhūtāni sakalānyapi | yenarthavanti tam kim nu vijñātāram prakāśayet || What can illumine that supreme Knower by whom the Vedas, the Purānas and all the things that are originated become significant? 536 एष स्वयंज्योतिरनन्तशक्तिः आत्माऽप्रमेयः सकलानुभूतिः । यमेव विज्ञाय विमुक्तबन्ध : जयत्ययं ब्रह्मविदुत्तमोत्तमः ॥ ५३६ ॥ eşa svayamjyotir anantaśaktir ātmā prameyah sakalānubhūtih । yameva vijñāya vimuktabandhaḥ jayatyayam brahmaviduttamottamaḥ || This is self-effulgent ātman, of infinite power, beyond intellectual comprehension, yet experienced by every one. Realising it, freed from bondage lives happily the superlatively eminent Brahmavit. 475
