Translation

I am the Narayana; I am the slayer of Naraka; I am the destroyer of the three pura–s (habitations) and I am the indweller for all bodies. I am the ruler, the homogenous consciousness and the knower of all. I have no ruler (above). I am devoid of ‘I’ and ‘mine’.

Annotation

The realised person is devoid of ‘I’ and ‘mine’ because his individual ego has melted in the ocean of Brahman consciousness. He is ananyādhipati, one who has no ruler above him, as the Brahma Sutra (4–4–9) says (Jagadguru). Brahman is the substratum in which all god forms such as Narayana, Rudra etc., are visualised. The three pura–s which are destroyed are the gross, the subtle and the causal bodies.
