Published Hindi meaning — contributor not separately identified in this edition

<a id="line-3"></a>भावार्थ - ज्ञानी, ज्ञान से पृथिवी, जल, तेज, वायु एवं आकाश तथा उससे भी  
<a id="line-4"></a>परे अहंकार आवरणों का भेदन कर देता है। किंतु अहंकार से परे दो तत्व  
<a id="line-5"></a>महान्‌ एवं प्रकृति अवशिष्ट रह जाते हैं। इन दोनों में भी प्रमुख प्रकृति या  
<a id="line-6"></a>माया है। यह प्रकृति केवल भक्ति से ही समाप्त की जा सकती है।

<a id="line-7"></a>Panch ṭaṭva aru aham kȧ, bheḍan kari ḍe gyȧn.  
<a id="line-8"></a>Pai binu bhakṭi na kari sakai, bheḍan prakriṭi mahȧn.[62]

Published English meaning — H.D. Swami Prakashanand Saraswati

<a id="line-9"></a>A self-realized true gyani by his ‘gyan’ (knowledge) may break  
<a id="line-10"></a>the sheath of the prime elements (earth, water, space, fire and  
<a id="line-11"></a>air). He may also win over ahankar (ego). Still there remain  
<a id="line-12"></a>two more elements: prakriti and mahan, which he cannot cross.  
<a id="line-13"></a>Out of these two, the prakriti, which is called maya, is very  
<a id="line-14"></a>powerful. Maya can only be eliminated with bhakti.
