I am the eternal Śiva!²⁰
I am free from the All and the Non-all.
I have the nature of goodness.²¹
I always am!

7. “I am free from the number one,
and I do not have the number two.
I am free from the distinction
of being and non-being.²²
I am without thoughts.

8. “I distinguish not between selves,
For I embody complete bliss.
I am not I, I am not another.
I have no body and the like.

9. “I have no refuge; I am no refuge.
I do not have a support.
[*122*] From bondage and from freedom I am free.
I am pure. I am Brahman.
I am he!

10. “I am without mind and all such things.
I am the highest, higher than highest.
I am ever reflective thought.
Yet I reflect not.
I am he!

11. “I am the letters ‘a,’ ‘u,’ and ‘m.’²³
I am eternal.
I am beyond the meditator, meditation,
and the object meditated on.
I am he!
