अपरिच्छन्नताऽप्येवमत एव मता मम |

तच्चज्ञानं नात्मधर्मो धर्मत्वे जडताऽत्मनः || १९ ||

aparicchannatā'pyevamata eva matā mama |

taccajñānaṃ nātma-dharmo dharmatve jaḍatā'tmanaḥ || 19 ||

19. "Therefore I am regarded truly as an undivided whole, and that consciousness is not an attribute of the Self, for then the Self would be like an object."

ज्ञानस्य जडशेषत्वं म दृष्टं न च सम्भवै |

चिद्धर्मत्वं तथा नास्ति चितश्चिन्न हि विद्यते || २० ||

jñānasya jaḍaśeṣatvaṃ ma dṛṣṭaṃ na ca sambhavai |

cid-dharma-tvaṃ tathā nāsti citaścinna hi vidyate || 20 ||

20. "In consciousness no possible trace of the object state can be found. And so consciousness also has no attributes: consciousness is not a quality separable from consciousness itself."

तस्मादात्मज्ञानरूपः सुखरूपश्च सर्वदा |

सत्यः पूर्णोऽप्यसङ्गश्च द्वैतज्जालविवर्जितः || २१ ||

tasmād-ātma-jñāna-rūpaḥ sukha-rūpaśca sarvadā |

satyaḥ pūrṇo'pyasaṅgaśca dvaitajjālavivarjitaḥ || 21 ||

21. "Therefore the Self in essence is consciousness, and bliss as well, always, it is the real and complete, beyond all relation, and free from the illusion of duality."
