अविभक्तं च भूतेषु विभक्तमिव च स्थितम् । भूतभर्तृ च तज्ज्ञेयं ग्रसिष्णु प्रभविष्णु च ॥ १६ ॥
avibhaktaṁ cha bhūteṣhu vibhaktam iva cha sthitam bhūta-bhartṛi cha taj jñeyaṁ grasiṣhṇu prabhaviṣhṇu cha
Translation
Undivided, it yet seems to be divided among beings. Know it as the sustainer of beings, their devourer and their creator.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
वह अविभक्त होकर भी प्राणियों में विभक्त-सा स्थित प्रतीत होता है। उस जानने योग्य को प्राणियों का पालनकर्ता, संहारकर्ता और उत्पन्न करने वाला जानो।
Commentary
A common illustration: one sun is reflected in a thousand pots of water and seems to be many suns. The creator, sustainer and destroyer roles, often linked with Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, are named here as functions of one reality, not three separate gods.
