Verse 411

उत्तरो गोपतिर्गोप्ता ज्ञानगम्यः पुरातनः ।शरीरभूतभृद्भोक्ता कपीन्द्रो भूरिदक्षिणः ॥ ६६ ॥

In plain words

He is the one beyond it all; lord of the cows, of the earth, of the light. He is the guardian. He is reached by knowledge and by nothing else. He is ancient — older than time, which began in him. He holds together the elements that make a body, and he is the enjoyer within everyone who tastes anything at all. He is the lord the monkeys followed. What is given to him is given without measure, and what he gives back has no measure either. (66)

Close to the Sanskrit

The Higher One, lord of cows, the protector, attainable through knowledge, the ancient one; the sustainer of the elements of the body, the enjoyer, lord of the monkeys, abundant in sacrificial gifts. (66)
