तत्त्वंपदाभ्यामभिधीयमानयो-
ब्रह्मात्मनोः शोधितयोर्यदीत्थम् ।
श्रुत्या तयोस्तत्त्वमसीति समय-
गेकत्वमेव प्रतिपाद्यते मुहुः ॥ २४१ ॥
ऐक्यं तयोर्लक्षितयोर्न वाच्ययो-
निगद्यतेऽन्योन्यविरुद्धधर्मिणोः ।
खद्योतभान्वोरिव राजभृत्ययोः
कूपाम्बुराश्यो: परमाणुमेर्वोः ॥ २४२ ॥ .
 
241-242. If thus the Sruti, in the dictum "Thou art
That" (Tal- Tvum-Asi). repeatedly establishes the absolute
identity of Brahman (or Tśvara) and Jiva, denoted by the
terms That (Tat) and thou (Tvam) respectively, divesting
these terms of their relative associations, then it is the
identity of their implied, not literal. meanings which is
sought to be inculcated: for they are of attributes con-
tradictory to each other-like the sun and a glow-worm,
the king and a servant, the ocean and a well, or Mount
Meru and an atom.
