भोग्यात्मना परिणता विद्यावेद्या यतो मयि ॥ साम चाह सुषुप्त्याख्यमेवं सर्वं मयोच्यते ॥ ३६ ॥

Because I am the altar of knowledge, it is transformed into the Self of enjoyment. The Sama is called Sushupti and thus I have described everything.

english translation

ममार्थेन शिवेनेदं तामसेनाभिधीयते ॥ अथर्वाह तुरायाख्यं तुरीयातीतमेव च ॥ ३७ ॥

For My sake, this auspicious world is called Tamasena. The Atharva Veda is called Turaya and the fourth is past.

english translation

मयाभिधीयते तस्मादध्वातीतपदोस्म्यहम् ॥ अध्वात्मकं तु त्रितयं शिवविद्यात्मसंज्ञितम् ॥ ३८ ॥

Therefore I am the transcendental form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The threefold path consisting of the Adhva is called the Self of Shiva Vidya.

english translation

तत्त्रैगुण्यं त्रयीसाध्यं संशोध्यं च पदैषिणा ॥ अध्वातीतं तुरीयाख्यं निर्वाणं परमं पदम् ॥ ३९ ॥

That threefold nature is achievable by the three Vedas and can be refined by the footsteps. The fourth stage of transcendence is the supreme stage of Nirvana.

english translation

तदतीतं च नैर्गुण्यादध्वनोस्य विशोधकम् ॥ द्वयोः प्रमापको नादो नदांतश्च मदात्मकः ॥ ४० ॥

The past is also the purifier of the path of non-virtue. The sound measuring both is the sound and the end of the sound is the ego.
