Verses on the Recognition of the Lord5.10

5.10
स्वामिनश् चात्मसंस्थस्य भावजातस्य भासनम् अस्त्य् एव न विना तस्माद् इच्छामर्शः प्रवर्तते ॥१०॥
svāminaś cātmasaṃsthasya bhāvajātasya bhāsanam asty eva na vinā tasmād icchāmarśaḥ pravartate
— for the Lord (the master) ; — and ; — residing within himself ; — of the totality of entities ; — the manifestation ; — does (indeed) exist ; — not ; — without it (that manifestation) ; — from that, therefore ; — the reflective awareness of will (the determination 'I will') ; — proceeds, comes into operation

And for the Lord there does exist a manifestation of the totality of entities residing within himself; for without it the reflective determination of will (the 'I will') could not come into operation.
