- Because all-Selfhood is made clear in this hymn of praise.
- तेनास्य श्रवणात्तदर्थमननाद्ध्यानाच्च सङ्कीर्तनात्
- Therefore by hearing, pondering its meaning, meditating, and chanting it.
- सर्वात्मत्वमहाविभूतिसहितं स्यादीश्वरत्वं स्वतः
- All-Selfhood with great glory and lordship arise of themselves from that.
- सिद्ध्येत्तत्पुनरष्टधा परिणतं चैश्वर्यमव्याहतम् ॥१०॥
- Then that sovereignty, transformed eightfold, becomes unobstructed.
This hymn declares the identity of the Self with all. Hearing and meditating on it ripens the conviction of sarvatmatva, the natural lordship that is one's own when ignorance is removed.
