अपि व्यापकत्वात् हितत्त्वप्रयोगात् स्वतः सिद्धभावादनन्याश्रयत्वात् जगत् तुच्छमेतत् समस्तं तदन्यत् तदेकोऽवशिष्टः शिवः केवलोऽहम् ॥९॥
Study note
Word breakdown
- अपि व्यापकत्वात् हितत्त्वप्रयोगात्
- Even because of pervasiveness, because of application to what is beneficial and real.
- स्वतः सिद्धभावादनन्याश्रयत्वात्
- From self-established being, from dependence on nothing else.
- जगत् तुच्छमेतत् समस्तं तदन्यत्
- This entire world apart from That is worthless.
- तदेकोऽवशिष्टः शिवः केवलोऽहम्
- Therefore the one remaining is Shiva; I alone am pure.
The Self is self-evident, all-pervasive, and depends on nothing. The world apart from Brahman has no substantial reality; only Shiva, the one Self, truly is.
