उदशराव आत्मानम् अवेक्ष्य यद् आत्मनो न विजानीथस् तन् मे प्रब्रूतम् इति । तौ होदशरावे ऽवेक्षां चक्राते । तौ ह प्रजापतिर् उवाच किं पश्यथ इति । तौ होचतुः सर्वम् एवेदम् आवां भगव आत्मानं पश्याव आ लोमभ्यः आ नखेभ्यः प्रतिरूपम् इति

udaśarāva ātmānam avekṣya yad ātmano na vijānīthas tan me prabrūtam iti | tau hodaśarāve 'vekṣāṃ cakrāte | tau ha prajāpatir uvāca kiṃ paśyatha iti | tau hocatuḥ sarvam evedam āvāṃ bhagava ātmānaṃ paśyāva ā lomabhyaḥ ā nakhebhyaḥ pratirūpam iti

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

'Look at your Self in a pan of water, and whatever you do not understand of your Self, come and tell me.' They looked in the water-pan. Then Pragâpati said to them: 'What do you see?' They said: 'We both see the self thus altogether, a picture even to the very hairs and nails.'
