यो ऽयं दक्षिणे ऽक्षन् पुरुषस् तस्य भूर् इति शिरः । एकं शिर एकम् एतद् अक्षरम् । भुव इति बाहू । द्वौ बाहू द्वे एते अक्षरे । स्वर् इति प्रतिष्ठा । द्वे प्रतिष्ठे द्वे एते अक्षरे । तस्योपनिषद् अहम् इति । हन्ति पाप्मानं जहाति च य एवं वेद

yo 'yaṃ dakṣiṇe 'kṣan puruṣas tasya bhūr iti śiraḥ | ekaṃ śira ekam etad akṣaram | bhuva iti bāhū | dvau bāhū dve ete akṣare | svar iti pratiṣṭhā | dve pratiṣṭhe dve ete akṣare | tasyopaniṣad aham iti | hanti pāpmānaṃ jahāti ca ya evaṃ veda

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Of the person in the right eye BhM is the head, for the head is one, and that syllable is one; Bhuva/£ the two arms, for the arms are two, and these syllables are two; Svar the foot, for the feet are two, and these syllables are two. Its secret name is Aham (ego), and he who knows this, destroys (hanti) evil and leaves (^ahati) it.
