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

'Next follows the explanation of the Infinite as the Self: Self is below, above, behind, before, right and left—Self is all this. 'He who sees, perceives, and understands this, loves the Self, delights in the Self, revels in the Self, rejoices in the Self—he becomes a Svarâg, (an autocrat or self-ruler); he is lord and master in all the worlds. 'But those who think differently from this, live in perishable worlds, and have other beings for their rulers.
