ātmodayaṃ trijagadātmamayaṃ samastaṃ maurkhye sthitasya sahasā nanu sarvabhūmiḥ 31

31. maurkhyam hi bandhanam avehi param mahātman

iti maurkhye sthitasya trijagat ātmamayam

31. O great soul (mahātman), know that foolishness is indeed the supreme bondage. For liberation from that (bondage), the mind (cetas) remains caught in the thought, 'I am bound, not unbound.' Indeed, for one who is established in foolishness, the entire manifestation of the Self (ātman), which pervades the three worlds, cannot suddenly become the universal state (sarvabhūmi).
