नवमं नमामि दशममहमित्येकादशं स्थानं जानीयायो जानीते सोऽमृतत्वं च गच्छति ।एकादशपदा वा अनुष्टुब्भवत्यनुष्टुभा सर्वामिदं सृष्टमनुष्टुभा सर्वमुपसंहृतं तस्मात्सर्वामिदमानुष्टुभं जानीयायो जानीते सोऽमृतत्वं च गच्छति ॥ ३ ॥
In plain words
'Namāmi' is the ninth word, 'aham' the tenth — and behind them stands an eleventh place still to be known. Whoever knows it steps beyond death. This whole mantra, the anuṣṭubh, is built of eleven words: by it the world was poured out, and by it the world is drawn back in. So know everything you see as this very anuṣṭubh — and know it, and death has nothing left to hold you with. || 3 ||
Close to the Sanskrit
'Namāmi' as the ninth, 'aham' as the tenth — thus one should know the eleventh station; whoever knows this attains immortality. The anuṣṭubh indeed has eleven padas; by the anuṣṭubh all this was created, by the anuṣṭubh all this was withdrawn; therefore one should know all this as consisting of the anuṣṭubh; whoever knows this attains immortality. || 3 ||
