The works of Ādi Śaṅkarācārya

Brahmānucintanaṃ

Verse 7

अन्योऽसावहमन्योऽस्मीत्युपास्ते योऽन्यदेवताम् ।न स वेद नरो ब्रह्म स देवानां यथा पशुः ॥ ६ ॥

In plain words

"That god is one being, and I am another" — anyone who worships with that thought does not know brahman. To the gods he is livestock.

Close to the Sanskrit

"That one is other, I am other" — thus whoever worships another deity, that man does not know brahman; he is, for the gods, like a domestic animal.
