Verse 7.1.36

अहं ममेति नास्त्यलं यदस्ति तच्छिवं परम् ।
परात्परं त्विदं शिवादशब्दमर्थरूपकम् ॥ ३६ ॥

ahaṃ mameti nāstyalaṃ yadasti tacchivaṃ param |
parātparaṃ tvidaṃ śivādaśabdamartharūpakam || 36 ||

There is no other ego or meiety excepting that of the one self-existent and omniform Deity; and besides the essence of this transcendent being, it is hard to account anything of the multifarious things that appear to be otherwise than Himself.
