Verse 138

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ १३८ ॥

In plain words

I am the mark and the thing it marks; I am what words can only hint at; I am free of dissolution and everything that comes with it. I am gain and I am loss; and out of everything there is to get, I am the one thing that is never got.

Close to the Sanskrit

I am consisting of the defining mark and the marked; I am the figuratively indicated; I am devoid of dissolution and the rest. I am consisting of gain and non-gain; of the things to be obtained, I am the one not being obtained.
