Sanskrit, transliteration, word meanings, and translation for steady Bhāgavata reading.

Sanskrit

अहं वै सर्वभूतानि भूतात्मा भूतभावन: । शब्दब्रह्म परं ब्रह्म ममोभे शाश्वती तनू ॥ ५१ ॥

Transliteration

ahaṁ vai sarva-bhūtāni bhūtātmā bhūta-bhāvanaḥ śabda-brahma paraṁ brahma mamobhe śāśvatī tanū
Synonyms
aham — I; vai — indeed; sarva-bhūtāni — expanded in different forms of living entities; bhūta-ātmā — the Supersoul of all living entities (the supreme director and enjoyer of them); bhūta-bhāvanaḥ — the cause for the manifestation of all living entities; śabda-brahma — the transcendental sound vibration (the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra); param brahma — the Supreme Absolute Truth; mama — My; ubhe — both (namely, the form of sound and the form of spiritual identity); śāśvatī — eternal; tanū — two bodies.

Translation

All living entities, moving and nonmoving, are My expansions and are separate from Me. I am the Supersoul of all living beings, who exist because I manifest them. I am the form of the transcendental vibrations like oṁkāra and Hare Kṛṣṇa Hare Rāma, and I am the Supreme Absolute Truth. These two forms of Mine — namely, the transcendental sound and the eternally blissful spiritual form of the Deity, are My eternal forms; they are not material.
