"I am ever pure, totally free, I am

indeed That. I am imperishable." (3)
nityo.ahaM niravadyo.aham.h
niraakaaro.ahamachyutaH |
paramaanandaruupo.aham.h
ahamevaahamavyayaH || 4 ||
"I am eternal (timeless), I am blameless,
I am boundless, I am firm (imperishable,
permanent), I am the reflection/ nature of
the Universal Soul. I am That. I am
imperishable." (4)
Note: "niraakaara", found in both verses,
besides meaning formless, boundless, also
means "the perception of the outer world
does not arise from imaginations impressed
on the mind".
