ज्योतिषामपि तज्ज्योतिस्तमसः परमुच्यते | ज्ञानं ज्ञेयं ज्ञानगम्यं हृदि सर्वस्य विष्ठितम्
jyotiṣāmapi tajjyotistamasaḥ paramucyate . jñānaṃ jñeyaṃ jñānagamyaṃ hṛdi sarvasya viṣṭhitam
它甚至是眾光之光；它被稱為超越黑暗。它是知識、應知者、知識可達者，安住於一切眾生之心。
That is the Light even of the lights; It is spoken of as beyond darkness. It is Knowledge, the Knowable, and the Known. It exists specially [A variant reading is dhisthitam.-Tr.] in the hearts of all.
至高自性（Supreme Self）照亮智性、心智、太陽、月亮、星星、火焰和閃電。它是自發光的。「那裡太陽不照，月亮和星星不照，這些閃電不照，更不用說這火了。當它照耀時，一切都隨它而照，所有這些都因它的光而照。」（《伽陀奧義書》Kathopanishad 第五章第十五節，亦見《白騾奧義書》Svetasvataropanishad 第六章第十四節）知識：如謙卑。（參見第十三章第七至十一節）應知者：如第十二至十七節所描述。知識的目標，即能夠透過智慧理解。這三者都安住於每個眾生的心（Buddhi）中。儘管太陽的光芒照耀所有物體，但太陽的光在所有明亮潔淨的物體（如鏡子）中顯得更為璀璨。同樣，儘管梵（Brahman）存在於所有物體中，但智性因從梵（Brahman）接收到的特殊光輝而顯得特別明亮。（參見第十章第二十節、第十三章第三節、第十八章第六十一節）
The Supreme Self illumines the intellect? the mind? the sun? moon? stars? fire and lightning. It is selfluminous? The sun does not shine there? nor do the moon and the stars? nor do these lightnings shine and much less this fire. When It shines? everything shines after It all these shine by Its Light. (Kathopanishad 5.15 also Svetasvataropanishad 6.14)Knowledge Such as humility. (Cf.XIII.7to11)The knowable As described in verses 12 to 7.The goal of knowledge? i.e.? capable of being understood by wisdom.These three are installed in the heart (Buddhi) of every living being. Though the light of the sun shines in all objects? yet the suns light shines more brilliantly in all bright and clean objects such as a mirror. Even so? though Brahman is present in all objects? the intellect shines with special effulgence received from Brahman. (Cf.X.20XIII.3XVIII.61)
