You are the Imperishable, that which does not perish, the supreme Brahman, to be known by those who seek liberation. You are the supreme resting-place of all this world, the supreme refuge in which it is set down. Further, You are imperishable, You whose passing-away does not exist; the guardian of the everlasting dharma, of the dharma which is ever-existing, eternal. You are the eternal, the age-old Puruṣa, the supreme: that is my view, my conviction. Further.

You are that supreme imperishable, indicated as the thing to be known in the Upanishads, in 'two are the knowledges to be known' and the rest. You alone are the supreme resting-place of this universe, its supreme support. You are imperishable, free of decay: of whatever own form, whatever qualities, whatever glory you are, by that very form you abide always. You are the guardian of the everlasting law: of the everlasting, eternal, Vedic law, by these and such descents, you alone are the guardian. 'You are held by me to be the eternal Person': the eternal Person, told in 'I know that great Person', 'the Person higher than the high', and the rest, you alone are; so you are held, are known, by me. The meaning is, you, the ornament of the Yadu line, of such a kind, are now beheld directly by me.
