Translation

The self is Brahmā, the self is Vishnu, the self is Indra, the self is Shiva and the self is all this universe. Nothing exists apart from the self.

Annotation

1) This is the experience of the realised person. When Brahman alone exists, the seeker realises that he is not different from Brahman and he is also not different from what all is seen. 2) Consciousness which is alone is diversely visualised as Brahmā, Vishnu, Shiva, Indra etc., because of the limiting adjuncts (Jagadguru).
