Commentaries

Non-dualism. The individual self and Brahman are one. The world is appearance (maya). Liberation through knowledge.

Sri Shankaracharya

।।10.33।।अक्षरोंमें -- वर्णोंमें अकार -- अ वर्ण मैं हूँ। समास -- समूहमें द्वन्द्व नामक समास मैं हूँ तथा मैं ही अविनाशी काल -- जो क्षणघड़ी आदि नामोंसे प्रसिद्ध है वह समय? अथवा कालका भी काल परमेश्वर हूँ और मैं ही विधाता -- सब जगत्के कर्मफलका विधान करनेवाला तथा सब ओर मुखवाला परमात्मा हूँ।

Swami Gambirananda

10.33 Of the letters I am the letter a, and of the group of compund words I am (the compound called) Dvandva. [Dvandva: A compound of two or more words which, if not compounded, would stand in the same case and be connected by the conjunction 'and'.-Tr.] I Mayself am the infinite time; I am the Dispenser with faces everywhere.
