Verse     त्रिषु धामसु योद्भोग्यं भोक्ता भोगश्च यद्भवेत् । तेभ्यो विलक्षणः
साक्षी चिन्मात्रोऽहं सदाशिवः ।।  Transliteration

triṣu dhāmasu yodbhogyaṃ bhoktā bhogaśca yadbhavet । tebhyo vilakṣaṇaḥ
sākṣī cinmātro'haṃ sadāśivaḥ ।।
Hindi Meaning

तीनों अवस्थाओं (जाग्रत्, स्वप्न और सुषुप्ति) में जो कुछ भी भोक्ता, भोग्य और
भोग के रूप में है, उनसे विलक्षण, साक्षीरूप, चिन्मय स्वरूप, वह सदाशिव स्वयं
मैं ही हूँ। मैं ही स्वयं वह ब्रह्मरूप हूँ, मुझमें ही यह सब कुछ प्रादुर्भूत
हुआ है, मुझमें ही यह सभी कुछ स्थित है और मुझमें ही सभी कुछ विलीन हो जाता
है; वह अद्वय ब्रह्मरूप परमात्मा मैं ही हूँ॥

Dashashloki of Shankaracharya:
https://sanskritdocuments.org/doc_z_misc_shankara/dashashl.html?lang=sa

न जाग्रन् न मे स्वप्नको वा सुषुप्तिः
    न विश्वो न वा तैजसः प्राज्ञको वा ।
अविद्यात्मकत्वात् त्रयाणां तुरीयः
    तदेकोऽवशिष्टः शिवः केवलोऽहम् ॥ ८॥


        ᳚There is no waking state for me nor dream or deep
sleep. I am not Visva[the Self identified with the experiencer
of the waking state], nor Taijasa[identified with dream state],
nor Prajna[identified with deep sleep]. I am really the
Fourth(Turiya). That One, the Residue, the Auspicious, the Alone,
am I.᳚
