May you reach the heart by the mind that sinks investigating itself or that sinks with the breath; may you be one fixed in yourself.    Explanatory paraphrase: In the centre of the cave that is the heart brahman, which is the one [the only one that actually exists, and hence the one without a second], alone shines directly as oneself as ‘I am I’ [that is, as awareness of oneself as oneself alone]. May you reach [take refuge in, unite with or merge in] the heart by the mind that sinks [or subsides] [deep within] investigating itself or that sinks with the [sinking] breath; [and] may you [thereby] be one fixed in yourself. And the Sanskrit original is: हृदय कुहर मध्ये केवलं ब्रह्म मात्रं ह्यहमह मिति साक्षा दात्मरू पेण भाति। हृदि विश मनसास्वं चिन्वता मज्जता वा पवन चलन रोधा दात्मनिष्ठो भव त्वम्॥   hṛdaya kuhara madhyē kēvalaṁ brahma mātraṁ hyahamaha miti sākṣā dātmarū pēṇa bhāti hṛdi viśa manasāsvaṁ cinvatā majja tāvā pavana calana rōdhā dātmaniṣṭhō bhava tvam.   पदच्छेद: हृदय कुहर मध्ये केवलम् ब्रह्म मात्रम् हि ‘अहम् अहम्’ इति साक्षात् आत्म रूपेण भाति. हृदि विश मनसा स्वम् चिन्वता मज्जता वा पवन चलन रोधात्, आत्म निष्ठः भव त्वम्.   Padacchēda (word-separation): hṛdaya kuhara madhyē kēvalam brahma mātram hi ‘aham aham’ iti sākṣāt ātma rūpēṇa bhāti. hṛdi viśa manasā svam cinvatā majjatā vā pavana calana rōdhāt, ātma niṣṭhaḥ bhava tvam.   English translation: In the centre of the heart-cave solitarily brahman alone shines clearly in the form of oneself as ‘I am I’. Entering the heart by the mind sinking investigating itself or by restraining the movement of the breath, may you be fixed in yourself.   Explanatory paraphrase: In the centre of the heart-cave solitarily brahman alone shines clearly [directly or immediately] in the form of oneself as ‘I am I’ [that is, as awareness of oneself as oneself alone]. Entering the heart by the mind sinking [deep within] investigating itself or by restraining the movement of the breath, may you be fixed in yourself.
