105. Of great mind (Vasumanah).

Sruti (Tai. Up., 2-1), says: "Brahman is existence, know-
ledge, and infinite"; or who is with and without
form. The Sruti (Tai. Up., 2-6) says: "He is endowed with
form and devoid of form." Or Satyam: 'sat,' Prâna,
'ti,' food or matter and 'yam' the sun; he is 'satya'

is same (Sama) in all beings (Atmas). The Sruti (Kan.
Up., 3-9) says: "One should understand that the Self is
the same (in all)."
