अधिभूतं क्षरो भावः पुरुषश्चाधिदैवतम् । अधियज्ञोऽहमेवात्र देहे देहभृतां वर ॥ ८-४ ॥
adhibhūtaṃ kṣaro bhāvaḥ puruṣaścādhidaivatam | adhiyajño'hamevātra dehe dehabhṛtāṃ vara || 8-4 ||
— the principle of being is perishable existence ; — and the Person is the divine principle ; — the principle of sacrifice am I myself, here ; — in the body, O best of the embodied

The principle of being is perishable existence, and the Person is the divine principle; the principle of sacrifice is I myself, here in the body, O best of the embodied.
