Within whom all this and all that is within, I am the omnipresent, omnipotent, the nurturer of all.
Chapters 3 : The Knowledge of Bhakti yoga
वक्ष्ये समाहितमनाः शृणुष्व शृणुष्व पवनात्मज ।येनेदं लभ्यते रूपं येनेदं सम्प्रवर्तते ॥
~ Oh son of wind God! From whom this form is obtained and from which it becomes active, I'll tell about that, listen carefully.
नाहं तपोभिर्विविधैर्न दानेन न चेज्यया ।
शक्यो हि पुरुषैर्ज्ञातुमृते भक्तिमनुत्तमाम् ॥
~ People cannot know me by penance, charity or sacrifice except with perfect devotion.
अहं हि सर्वभावानामन्तस्तिष्ठामि सर्वगः । मां सर्वसाक्षिणं लोका न जानन्ति प्लवङ्गम ॥
~ O best monkey! I am omnipresent, situated within all beings, people cannot know me, the omniscient.
यस्यान्तरा सर्वमिदं यो हि सर्वान्तरः परः । सोऽहं धाता विधाता च लोकेऽस्मिन् विश्वतोमुखः ॥
~ Within whom all this and all that is within, I am the omnipresent, omnipotent, the nurturer of all.
न मां पश्यन्ति मुनयः सर्वेऽपि त्रिदिवौकसः । ब्राह्मणा मनवः शक्रा ये चान्ये प्रथितौजसः ॥
~ Not even all the sages and devatas know me, and Brahmins, Manu, Indra and others do not even recognize me.
गृणन्ति सततं वेदा मामेकं परमेश्वरम् ।यजन्ति विविधैरग्निं ब्राह्मणा वैदिकैर्मखैः ॥
~ The Vedas constantly praise me only to the one Supreme Lord. Brahmins worship me with Vedic sacrifices and various fire rituals.
सर्वे लोका नमस्यन्ति ब्रह्मलोके पितामहम् । ध्यायन्ति योगिनो देवं भूताधिपतिमीश्वरम् ॥ ७॥ अहं हि सर्वयज्ञानां भोक्ता चैव फलप्रदः । सर्वदेवतनुर्भूत्वा सर्वात्मा सर्वसंस्तुतः ॥
~ Everyone bows down to all Father Brahma in Brahma Loka. Yogis meditate on Lord Maheshwara but worshiped by all in the form of all deities, I am the Supreme Soul, the enjoyer of all sacrifices and the giver of fruits.
मां पश्यन्तीह विद्वांसो धार्मिका वेदवादिनः ।
तेषां सन्निहितो नित्यं ये भक्ता मामुपासते ॥
~ Vedic religious scholars know me. I am always close to the devotees who worship me.
