7. He, truly, indeed, is the Self (Ātman) within the heart, very subtile, kindled like fire, assuming all forms. This whole world is his food. On Him creatures here are woven.

He is the Self which is free from evil, ageless, deathless, sorrowless, free from uncertainty, free from fetters, whose conception is the Real, whose desire is the Real. He is the supreme Lord. He is the ruler of beings. He is the protector of beings. He is the separating bridge [or dam, *setu*].

This Soul (Ātman), assuredly, indeed, is Īśāna (Lord), Śambhu (the Beneficent), Bhava (the Existent), Rudra (the Terrible), Prajāpati (Lord of Creation), Viśvasṛij (Creator of All), Hiraṇyagarbha (Golden Germ), Truth (*satya*), Life (*prāṇa*), Spirit (*haṁsa*), Śāstṛi (Punisher, or Commander, or Teacher), the Unshaken, Vishṇu (Pervader), Nārāyaṇa (Son of Man).

He who is in the fire, and he who is here in the heart, and he who is yonder in the sun—he is one.

To Thee who art this, the all-formed, hidden in the real ether, be adoration!
