dehe

देहिनोऽस्मिन्यथा देहे कौमारं यौवनं जरा

dehinaḥ — of the embodied

As a person passes from childhood to youth to age, so the embodied one passes from body to body. The steady are not confused by this.

अन्तवन्त इमे देहा नित्यस्योक्ताः शरीरिणः

dehāḥ — material bodies

These bodies have an end. The one who wears them is said to be eternal, indestructible, beyond measure. Therefore fight.

देही नित्यमवध्योऽयं देहे सर्वस्य भारत

dehī — the soul that dwells within the body

The one who dwells in the body of every being cannot be killed. So do not grieve for any creature.

अधियज्ञः कथं कोऽत्र देहेऽस्मिन्मधुसूदन

dehe — in body

How is the lord of offerings present in this body, and who is it? And how are you to be known at the moment of departure by those who are restrained?

अधिभूतं क्षरो भावः पुरुषश्चाधिदैवतम्

dehe — in the body

The ground of matter is perishable nature; the ground of the gods is the cosmic person; and I am the lord of offerings, here in this body, best of the embodied.

इहैकस्थं जगत्कृत्स्नं पश्याद्य सचराचरम्

dehe — in this form

See here, gathered in one place, the whole world, moving and unmoving — and whatever else you wish to see, in this body of mine.

पश्यामि देवांस्तव देव देहे सर्वांस्तथा भूतविशेषसङ्घान्

dehe — within the body

I see all the gods in your body, and all the kinds of beings; Brahma on his lotus seat, and all the seers and divine serpents.

उपद्रष्टाऽनुमन्ता च भर्ता भोक्ता महेश्वरः

dehe — within the body

The witness, the one who permits, the sustainer, the experiencer, the great lord — this is also called the highest self, the highest person, in this body.

यथा सर्वगतं सौक्ष्म्यादाकाशं नोपलिप्यते

dehe — the body

As space, being everywhere, is not tainted by its subtlety, so the self seated everywhere in the body is not tainted.

सत्त्वं रजस्तम इति गुणाः प्रकृतिसंभवाः

dehe — in the body

Clarity, restlessness and inertia — these strands, born of nature, bind the imperishable embodied one to the body.

सर्वद्वारेषु देहेऽस्मिन्प्रकाश उपजायते

dehe — body

When light appears at all the gates of this body, then know that clarity has grown strong.
