उदाराः सर्व एवैते ज्ञानी त्वात्मैव मे मतम् | आस्थितः स हि युक्तात्मा मामेवानुत्तमां गतिम्
udārāḥ sarva evaite jñānī tvātmaiva me matam . āsthitaḥ sa hi yuktātmā māmevānuttamāṃ gatim
這些人確實都是高貴的，但智者就是我的自性（Atman），這是我的看法。因為他心意堅定，唯獨以我為至高無上的目標。
All of these, indeed, are noble, but the man of Knowledge is the very Self. (This is) My opinion. For, with a steadfast mind, he is set on the path leading to Me alone who am the super-excellent Goal.
其他三種奉獻者難道不為主所鍾愛嗎？是的，他們都是高貴的靈魂。但智者尤其受鍾愛，因為他心意堅定，將心專注於梵（Brahman）。他不追求任何世俗之物，只追求至高無上的存在。他唯獨將梵視為最高目標。他修習「我即梵」（Ahamgraha Upasana）的冥想，努力體悟他與至高自性（Atman）合一。因此，我將智者視為我的自性。
Are not the other three kinds of devotees dear to the Lord They are. They are all noble souls. But the wise man is exceedingly dear because he has a steady mind he has fixed his mind on Brahman. He does not want any worldly object? but only the Supreme Being. He seeks Brahman alone as the supreme goal. He practises Ahamgraha Upasana (meditation on the Self as the all). He tries to realise that he is identical with the Supreme Self. Therefore I regard a wise man as My very Self. (Cf.II.49)
