सर्वतः पाणिपादो ऽयं सर्वतो ऽक्षिशिरोमुखः ॥ सर्वतः श्रुतिमांल्लोके सर्वमावृत्य तिष्ठति ॥ २१ ॥

He has hands, feet, eyes, heads, ears and faces all around. He stands enveloping everything in the world.

english translation

सर्वेन्द्रियगुणाभासस्सर्वेन्द्रियविवर्जितः ॥ सर्वस्य प्रभुरीशानः सर्वस्य शरणं सुहृत् ॥ २२ ॥

He has all apparent attributes but is devoid of the sense-organs. The lord is the friend and refuge of all.

english translation

अचक्षुरपि यः पश्यत्यकर्णो ऽपि शृणोति यः ॥ सर्वं वेत्ति न वेत्तास्य तमाहुः पुरुषं परम् ॥ २३ ॥

They call him the great Puruṣa—who sees without eyes, hears without ears and comprehends all and whom no one knows.

english translation

अणोरणीयान्महतो महीयानयमव्ययः ॥ गुहायां निहितश्चापि जंतोरस्य महेश्वरः ॥ २४ ॥

He is subtler than the atom, greater than the greatest. He is the unchanging. He lies in the cavity of the heart of this Paśu.

english translation

तमक्रतुं क्रतुप्रायं महिमातिशयान्वितम् ॥ धातुः प्रसादादीशानं वीतशोकः प्रपश्यति ॥ २५ ॥

By the grace of the creator, one devoid of sorrows perceives him who is endowed with the excellence of greatness and who docs not possess intelligence but is intelligence itself.
