भूतभावन भूतेश देवदेव जगत्पते || 15||
swayam evātmanātmānaṁ vettha tvaṁ puruṣhottama
bhūta-bhāvana bhūteśha deva-deva jagat-pate
swayam—yourself; eva—indeed; ātmanā—by yourself; ātmānam—yourself; vettha—know; tvam—you; puruṣha-uttama—the Supreme Personality; bhūta-bhāvana—the Creator of all beings; bhūta-īśha—the Lord of everything; deva-deva—the God of gods; jagat-pate—the Lord of the universe
Translation:
You alone know Yourself through Yourself, Ο Supreme Person, Ο Creator of all beings, Ο Lord of all beings, Ο God of gods, Ο Ruler of the world.
Commentary:
Know Yourself— Since the Lord is endowed with unsurpassed wisdom, sovereignty, and other divine attributes, none else knows all the manifestations of the Lord, much less His unconditioned and transcendent nature.
Through Yourself— Without any outside help.
Supreme Person— Beyond māyā and the three gunas.
The Supreme Truth to be sought after, is described by enlightened ones as Non-dual Consciousness. It is variously called as Brahman (by the Vedantins) as Paramatman (by the votaries of Hiranyagarbha) and as the Bhagavan (by the Bhaktas). ( Srimad Bhagavatam 1.2.11 )
