Sanskrit: प्रकृतिविकृतिभिन्नः शुद्धबोधस्वभावः सदसदिदमशेषं भासयन्निर्विशेषः । लसति परमात्मा जाग्रदादिष्ववस्था स्वहमहमिति साक्षात्साक्षिरूपेण बुद्धेः 
English:  The Supreme Self, different from the Prakriti and its modifications, of the essence of Pure Knowledge, and Absolute, directly manifests this entire gross and subtle universe, in the waking and other states, as the substratum of the persistent sense of egoism, and manifests Itself as the Witness of the Buddhi, the determinative faculty.
