SvU 3.12

महान् प्रभुर् वै पुरुषः सत्त्वस्यैष प्रवर्तकः । सुनिर्मलाम् इमां प्राप्तिम् ईशानो ज्योतिर् अव्ययः

mahān prabhur vai puruṣaḥ sattvasyaiṣa pravartakaḥ / sunirmalām imāṃ prāptim īśāno jyotir avyayaḥ

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

That person (purusha) is the great lord; he is the mover of existence, he possesses that purest power of reaching everything, he is light, he is undecaying.

Translated by F. Max MüllerFrom an unproofread scan of the printed edition; spelling and line breaks may carry OCR errors.
