This is the best Support, This is the highest Support; he who
knows this Support is glorified in the world of Brahman.

This sacred Word is the highest symbol of the Absolute. He who through
meditating on It grasps Its full significance, realizes the glory of God and
at once has all his desires satisfied, because God is the fulfilment of all
desires.

unborn, eternal, everlasting. It is not slain even though the
body is slain.

he is slain, both of these know not. For It neither slays nor is
It slain.
