He recognizes this self, this self of his. Just as a master sits at ease, just as a master enjoys with his own people, just as his own people enjoy with the master, so this intelligent self enjoys with these selves. Thus, these selves enjoy this self. As long as Indra did not know this self, the Asuras overpowered him. When he knew it, having slain and conquered the Asuras, he attained supremacy, sovereignty, and lordship over all the gods. In the same way, one who knows thus, having destroyed all evils, attains supremacy, sovereignty, and lordship over all beings—whoever knows thus, whoever knows thus.
