Verses on the Recognition of the Lord5.17

5.17
नाहन्तादिपरामर्शभेदाद् अस्यानयतात्मनः अहंमृश्यतयाइवास्य सृष्तेस् तिङ्वाच्यकर्मवत् ॥१७॥
nāhantādiparāmarśabhedād asyānayatātmanaḥ ahaṃmṛśyatayāivāsya sṛṣtes tiṅvācyakarmavat
— there is no (impairment) ; — from the differentiation of the reflective awareness 'I' and the rest ; — of him ; — whose nature is not (thereby) led away (from itself) ; — precisely as 'I'-referring (the object grasped as the 'I') ; — of him ; — of (his) creation (the emanated world) ; — like the object expressed by a finite-verb ending

There is no (loss of freedom) from the differentiation of the reflective awareness 'I' and the rest, for his nature is not thereby led away from itself; his creation is grasped precisely as referring to the 'I' — like the object expressed within a finite verb.
