मत्तः परतरं नान्यत्किञ्चिदस्ति धनञ्जय |
मयि सर्वमिदं प्रोतं सूत्रे मणिगणा इव ||७-७||
mattaḥ parataraṃ nānyatkiñcidasti dhanañjaya . mayi sarvamidaṃ protaṃ sūtre maṇigaṇā iva ||7-7||
।।7.7।। हे धनंजय ! मुझसे श्रेष्ठ (परे) अन्य किचिन्मात्र वस्तु नहीं है। यह सम्पूर्ण जगत् सूत्र में मणियों के सदृश मुझमें पिरोया हुआ है।।
7.7 मत्तः than Me? परतरम् higher? न not? अन्यत् other? किञ्चित् anyone? अस्ति is? धनञ्जय O Dhananjaya? मयि in Me? सर्वम् all? इदम् this? प्रोतम् is strung? सूत्रे on a string? मणिगणाः clusters of gems? इव like.Commentary There is no other cause of the universe but Me. I alone am the the cause of the universe. This illustration of gems and thread illustrates only the idea that all beings and the whole world are threaded on the Lord. The thread is not the cause of the gems. As Brahman is all in al
Non-dualism. The individual self and Brahman are one. The world is appearance (maya). Liberation through knowledge.
।।7.7।।ऐसा होनेके कारण मुझ परमेश्वरसे परतर ( अतिरिक्त ) जगत्का कारण अन्य कुछ भी नहीं है अर्थात् मैं ही जगत्का एकमात्र कारण हूँ। हे धनंजय क्योंकि ऐसा है इसलिये यह सम्पूर्ण जगत् और समस्त प्राणी मुझ परमेश्वरमें दीर्घ तन्तुओंमें वस्त्रकी भाँति तथा सूत्रमें मणियोंकी भाँति पिरोया हुआ अनुस्यूत अनुगत बिंधा हुआ गूँथा हुआ है।
