केवलं केवलाभासं सर्वसामान्यमक्षतम् ।
चेत्यानुपातरहितं चिन्मात्रमिह विद्यते ॥ १६ ॥

kevalaṃ kevalābhāsaṃ sarvasāmānyamakṣatam |
cetyānupātarahitaṃ cinmātramiha vidyate || 16 ||

Which is one and one alone, all and all-pervading, and imperishable Unity; which is incomprehensible in thought, and is only of the form of Intellect, is the universal Spirit.
