इतश्चाहं महेश्वरो लोकानाम् —
बुद्धिः अन्तःकरणस्य सूक्ष्माद्यर्थावबोधनसामर्थ्यम् , तद्वन्तं बुद्धिमानिति हि वदन्ति । ज्ञानम् आत्मादिपदार्थानामवबोधः । असंमोहः प्रत्युत्पन्नेषु बोद्धव्येषु विवेकपूर्विका प्रवृत्तिः । क्षमा आक्रुष्टस्य ताडितस्य वा अविकृतचित्तता । सत्यं यथादृष्टस्य यथाश्रुतस्य च आत्मानुभवस्य परबुद्धिसङ्क्रान्तये तथैव उच्चार्यमाणा वाक् सत्यम् उच्यते । दमः बाह्येन्द्रियोपशमः । शमः अन्तःकरणस्य उपशमः । सुखम् आह्लादः । दुःखं सन्तापः । भवः उद्भवः । अभावः तद्विपर्ययः । भयं च त्रासः, अभयमेव च तद्विपरीतम् ॥ ४ ॥
In plain words
And here is one more reason I am the great Lord of the worlds —
Intellect is the mind's own power to grasp things, even subtle ones — which is exactly why we call a person 'intelligent.' Knowledge is truly grasping what the Self and everything bound up with it actually are. Non-delusion is acting with discrimination right in the moment a real choice is in front of you. Forbearance is a mind that stays unshaken when someone insults you or strikes you. Truthfulness means speaking exactly as you saw it and exactly as you heard it, so your own experience can pass, unchanged, into someone else's understanding — that alone is what truth in speech means. Restraint is quieting the outer senses; tranquility is quieting the mind within. Pleasure is delight, pain is distress. Coming-to-be is simply arising; non-being is simply its reverse. Fear is dread — and fearlessness is nothing other than dread's opposite.

And from this too I am the great Lord of the worlds —
Buddhi is the inner organ's capacity for comprehending subtle and other objects; one possessing that they indeed call 'intelligent.' Jñāna is comprehension of the referents beginning with the Self. Asammoha is discrimination-preceded engagement in matters presently at hand that are to be discerned. Kṣamā is the unaltered state of mind of one who has been reviled or struck. Satya: speech uttered, regarding one's own experience of what was seen as it was seen and what was heard as it was heard, in just that way, for its transference into another's understanding — such speech is called truth. Dama is the quieting of the outer senses. Śama is the quieting of the inner organ. Sukha is delight. Duḥkha is distress. Bhava is arising. Abhāva is its reverse. Bhaya is dread, and abhaya alone is its opposite.
