From water and the moon, divine breath (spirit) enters into him. And verily that is divine breath which, whether moving or not moving, does not tire, and therefore does not perish. He who knows this, becomes the Self of all beings. As that deity (Hiranyagarbha) is, so does he become. And as all beings honour that deity (with sacrifice, &c.), so do all beings honour him who knows this. Whatever grief these creatures suffer, that is all one (and therefore disappears). Only what is good approaches him; verily, evil does not approach the Devas.

जल और चन्द्रमा से दैव प्राण उसमें प्रवेश करता है। वही दैव प्राण है जो चलता हुआ और न चलता हुआ भी न व्यथित होता है, न नष्ट होता है। ऐसा जानने वाला सब प्राणियों का आत्मा हो जाता है। जैसा यह देवता है, वैसा ही वह होता है; जैसे सब प्राणी इस देवता का सम्मान (पालन) करते हैं, वैसे ही सब प्राणी ऐसा जानने वाले का सम्मान करते हैं। ये प्रजाएँ जो कुछ शोक करती हैं, वह उनके साथ ही रहता है; उसे (ज्ञानी को) पुण्य ही प्राप्त होता है। देवताओं तक पाप नहीं पहुँचता।

The Self is never born and never dies. Unborn, eternal, ever-existing, it is not destroyed when the body is destroyed.
