Śvetāśvatara 5.1
द्वे अक्षरे ब्रह्मपरे त्वनन्ते विद्याविद्ये निहिते यत्र गूढे ।
क्षरं त्वविद्यां ह्यमृतं तु विद्या विद्याविद्ये ईशते यस्तु सोऽन्यः ॥ ५.१ ॥
There are two syllables, with brahman as their highest, and they are endless; in them knowledge and ignorance lie hidden. The perishable is ignorance, and the immortal is knowledge. But he who rules over knowledge and ignorance is other than both.
Śvetāśvatara 5.2
यो योनिं योनिमधितिष्ठत्येको विश्वानि रूपाणि योनीश्च सर्वाः ।
ऋषिं प्रसूतं कपिलं यस्तमग्रे ज्ञानैर्बिभर्ति जायमानं च पश्येत् ॥ ५.२ ॥
He who alone presides over every source and over all forms and all sources; who first brought forth the seer Kapila and sustains him with knowledge — let one see him as he is born.
Śvetāśvatara 5.3
एकैकं जालं बहुधा विकुर्वन्नस्मिन्क्षेत्रे संहरत्येष देवः ।
भूयः सृष्ट्वा पतयस्तथेशः सर्वाधिपत्यं कुरुते महात्मा ॥ ५.३ ॥
Producing each web in many ways, this god withdraws it again in this field. Having created once more, that lord, the great self, exercises sovereignty over all the lords.
Śvetāśvatara 5.4
सर्वा दिश ऊर्ध्वमधश्च तिर्यक्प्रकाशयन्भ्राजते यद्वनड्वान् ।
एवं स देवो भगवान्वरेण्यो योनिस्वभावानधितिष्ठत्येकः ॥ ५.४ ॥
As the sun shines, lighting all directions above, below, and across, so this god, the blessed and most excellent lord, alone presides over the natures of every source.
Śvetāśvatara 5.5
यच्च स्वभावं पचति विश्वयोनिः पाच्यांश्च सर्वान् परिणामयेद्यः ।
सर्वमेतद्विश्वमधितिष्ठत्येको गुणांश्च सर्वान्विनियोजयेद्यः ॥ ५.५ ॥
He who ripens one's own nature, the source of the universe, who transforms all that is to be ripened, he alone presides over this whole universe, and he who directs all the guṇas.
Śvetāśvatara 5.6
तद्वेदगुह्योपनिषत्सु गूढं तद्ब्रह्मा वेदते ब्रह्मयोनिम् ।
ये पूर्वं देवा ऋषयश्च तद्विदुस्ते तन्मया अमृता वै बभूवुः ॥ ५.६ ॥
That, hidden in the secret Upaniṣads of the Vedas, Brahmā knows as the source of Brahman. The gods and seers of old who knew it, becoming one with it, indeed became immortal.
Śvetāśvatara 5.7
गुणान्वयो यः फलकर्मकर्ता कृतस्य तस्यैव स चोपभोक्ता ।
स विश्वरूपस्त्रिगुणस्त्रिवर्त्मा प्राणाधिपः सञ्चरति स्वकर्मभिः ॥ ५.७ ॥
He who is connected with the guṇas, who performs actions with their fruits, and who is indeed the enjoyer of what is done — that one, of all forms, three-guṇa, three-pathed, lord of the breath, wanders about by his own deeds.
Śvetāśvatara 5.8
अङ्गुष्ठमात्रो रवितुल्यरूपः सङ्कल्पाहङ्कारसमन्वितो यः ।
बुद्धेर्गुणेनात्मगुणेन चैव आराग्रमात्रोऽप्यपरोऽपि दृष्टः ॥ ५.८ ॥
He who is the size of a thumb, of sunlike form, endowed with volition and ego, by the quality of the intellect and by the quality of the self — and another, even though no bigger than the tip of a goad, is seen.
Śvetāśvatara 5.9
बालाग्रशतभागस्य शतधा कल्पितस्य च ।
भागो जीवः स विज्ञेयः स चानन्त्याय कल्पते ॥ ५.९ ॥
Know that the living self (jīva) is a part of the one-hundredth of the tip of a hair, itself divided a hundredfold; and that part is fit to become infinite.
Śvetāśvatara 5.10
नैव स्त्री न पुमानेष न चैवायं नपुंसकः ।
यद्यच्छरीरमादत्ते तेने तेने स युज्यते ॥ ५.१० ॥
This is neither woman, nor man, nor is it neuter; whatever body it takes on, with that very body it becomes joined.
Śvetāśvatara 5.11
सङ्कल्पनस्पर्शनदृष्टिमोहैर्ग्रासांबुवृष्ट्यात्मविवृद्धिजन्म ।
कर्मानुगान्यनुक्रमेण देही स्थानेषु रूपाण्यभिसम्प्रपद्यते ॥ ५.११ ॥
By intention, touch, sight and delusion, by food, water and rain, and by the growth of the self comes birth; following its actions in due order, the embodied self takes on forms in various places.
Śvetāśvatara 5.12
स्थूलानि सूक्ष्माणि बहूनि चैव रूपाणि देही स्वगुणैर्वृणोति ।
क्रियागुणैरात्मगुणैश्च तेषां संयोगहेतुरपरोऽपि दृष्टः ॥ ५.१२ ॥
The embodied self chooses many forms, gross and subtle, by its own qualities; and another cause of their union is seen, through the qualities of action and the qualities of the self.
Śvetāśvatara 5.13
अनाद्यनन्तं कलिलस्य मध्ये विश्वस्य स्रष्टारमनेकरूपम् ।
विश्वस्यैकं परिवेष्टितारं ज्ञात्वा देवं मुच्यते सर्वपाशैः ॥ ५.१३ ॥
Beginningless and endless, standing in the midst of the tangled world, the creator of the universe in many forms, the one who alone encompasses the universe: knowing that deva, one is freed from all bonds.
Śvetāśvatara 5.14
भावग्राह्यमनीडाख्यं भावाभावकरं शिवम् ।
कलासर्गकरं देवं ये विदुस्ते जहुस्तनुम् ॥ ५.१४ ॥
Grasped by inner feeling, called the Nestless, causing both being and non-being, the auspicious one, the creator of arts and of creation: those who know that deva abandon the body.
