तत्त्वयोश्चास्म्यहं प्राणास्सर्वस्स्सर्वात्मको ह्यहम् ॥ जीवस्य चान्तर्यामित्वाज्जीवोऽहं तस्य सर्वदा ॥ २६ ॥

I am the life-force in both the elements and I am all-pervading. And because I am the innermost being of the living being, I am always his living being.

english translation

यद्भूतं यच्च भव्यं यद्भविप्यत्सर्वमेव च ॥ मन्मयत्वादहं सर्वः सर्वो वै रुद्र इत्यपि ॥ २७ ॥

What is past, what is yet to be, what is present-all these are identical with me. Hence I am all. All is Rudra.

english translation

श्रुतिराह मुने सा हि साक्षाच्छिवमुखोद्गता ॥ सर्वात्मा परमैरेभिर्गुणैर्नित्यसमन्वयात् ॥ २८ ॥

O sage, the Śruti says that it has originated from Śiva’s mouth. “I am the soul of all”, because the great qualities are ever present in me.

english translation

स्वस्मात्परात्मविरहादद्वितीयोऽहमेव हि ॥ सर्वं खल्विदं ब्रह्मेति वाक्यार्थः पूर्व्वमीरितः ॥ २९ ॥

“I am without a second” because there is no other Ātman distinct from the self. The statement “indeed all this is Brahman” has been explained before.

english translation

पूर्णोऽहं भावरूपत्वान्नित्यमुक्तोऽहमेव हि ॥ पशवो मत्प्रसादेन मुक्ता मद्भावमाश्रिताः ॥ ३० ॥

I am complete because of my positive aspect. I am ever liberated. All the souls resorting to my nature are liberated due to my grace.
