sarvebhyo namaH,
  Here are shloka(s) three and four of the
Continuous Garland of Sacred Knowledge:

  nityashuddhavimukto.aham.h
niraakaaro.ahamavyayaH |
  bhuumaanandasvaruupo.aham.h
ahamevaahamavyayaH || 3 ||

  "I am ever pure, totally free, I am
formless and changeless. I am Bhuuma
(plentiful), the boundless joy. 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".
