Verse text

vyatirekānvayo yasya jāgrat-svapna-suṣuptiṣu māyā-mayeṣu tad brahma jīva-vṛttiṣv apāśrayaḥ

Synonyms

vyatireka the presence as separate ; anvayaḥ and as conjoint ; yasya of which ; jāgrat within waking consciousness ; svapna sleep ; suṣuptiṣu and deep sleep ; māyā mayeṣu — within the products of the illusory energy ; tat that ; brahma the Absolute Truth ; jīva vṛttiṣu — within the functions of the living entities ; apāśrayaḥ the unique shelter .

Translation

The Supreme Absolute Truth is present throughout all the stages of awareness — waking consciousness, sleep and deep sleep — throughout all the phenomena manifested by the illusory energy, and within the functions of all living entities, and He also exists separate from all these. Thus situated in His own transcendence, He is the ultimate and unique shelter.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

That Brahman which is present in all objects as its cause, in states of waking, dreaming and deep sleep, but which is separate from them, is called apāśraya. This verse explains apāśraya. That Brahman which as a cause is present in all objects (māyāmayeṣu), in states of waking, dreaming and deep sleep, but which is separate from them (vyatireka) is called apāśraya.
