यत्र नान्यत् पश्यति नान्यच् छृणोति नान्यद् विजानाति स भूमा । अथ यत्रान्यत् पश्यत्य् अन्यच् छृणोत्य् अन्यद् विजानाति तद् अल्पम् । यो वै भूमा तद् अमृतम् । अथ यद् अल्पं तन् मर्त्यम् । स भगवः कस्मिन् प्रतिष्ठित इति । स्वे महिम्नि यदि वा न महिम्नीति

yatra nānyat paśyati nānyac chṛṇoti nānyad vijānāti sa bhūmā | atha yatrānyat paśyaty anyac chṛṇoty anyad vijānāti tad alpam | yo vai bhūmā tad amṛtam | atha yad alpaṃ tan martyam | sa bhagavaḥ kasmin pratiṣṭhita iti | sve mahimni yadi vā na mahimnīti

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

'Where one sees nothing else, hears nothing else, understands nothing else, that is the Infinite. Where one sees something else, hears something else, understands something else, that is the finite. The Infinite is immortal, the finite is mortal.' 'Sir, in what does the Infinite rest?' 'In its own greatness—or not even in greatness.'
