Original Sanskrit · श्रीभगवान्
वेदानां सामवेदोऽस्मि देवानामस्मि वासवः
इन्द्रियाणां मनश्चास्मि भूतानामस्मि चेतना
॥ 10.22 ॥
vedānāṃ sāmavedo'smi devānāmasmi vāsavaḥ
indriyāṇāṃ manaścāsmi bhūtānāmasmi cetanā
Translation
"Among the Vedas I am the Sama Veda, among the gods Indra; among the senses I am the mind, and in living beings, consciousness."
Interpretation
Shankaracharya. indriyāṇām ekādaśānāṃ cakṣurādīnāṃ manaś ca asmi saṃkalpavikalpātmakaṃ; bhūtānām asmi cetanā kāryakaraṇasaṃghāte nityābhivyaktā buddhivṛttiḥ cetanā — the activity of the intellect, ever manifest in the aggregate of body and senses.
Acharya Ramanuja. vedānām ṛgyajuḥsāmātharvaṇāṃ ya utkṛṣṭaḥ sāmavedaḥ; ekādaśānām indriyāṇāṃ yad utkṛṣṭaṃ mana indriyaṃ; iyam api na nirdhāraṇe — bhūtānāṃ cetanāvatāṃ yā cetanā sā aham asmi — here too it does not mean "one among these"; I am the consciousness of conscious beings.
