नानापदार्थभ्रमपिच्छपूर्णा जगन्मयूराण्डरसश्चिदाद्या ।
मयूररूपं त्वमयूरमन्तः सत्तापदं विद्धि कुतोऽस्ति भेदः ॥ ३५ ॥

nānāpadārthabhramapicchapūrṇā jaganmayūrāṇḍarasaścidādyā ,
mayūrarūpaṃ tvamayūramantaḥ sattāpadaṃ viddhi kuto'sti bhedaḥ 35

35. nānā-padārtha-bhrama-piccha-pūrṇā
jagat-mayūra-aṇḍa-rasaḥ cit-ādyā
mayūra-rūpam tu amayūram antaḥ
sattā-padam viddhi kutaḥ asti bhedaḥ

35. cit-ādyā nānā-padārtha-bhrama-piccha-pūrṇā (eva) jagat-mayūra-aṇḍa-rasaḥ (asti).
tu antaḥ mayūra-rūpam amayūram (iti) sattā-padam viddhi.
kutaḥ bhedaḥ asti?

35. Primal consciousness (cit-ādyā), which is full of the illusory plumes of diverse objects, is the very essence of the world-peacock-egg. Know that the form of the peacock (mayūrarūpam) within (antaḥ) is indeed not a peacock, but the state of pure being (sattāpadam). So, where is the difference (bhedaḥ)?

35. ביצת הטווס של היקום מלאה בנוצות האשליה של עצמים שונים, אך מהותה הראשונית היא תודעה טהורה. דמות הטווס החיצונית היא במהותה הפנימית בלתי-טווסית - היא דרגת הקיום הטהורה. דע זאת, ואיפה בכלל ייתכן פירוד?
