हृदा हृदिस्थं मनस य एनमेवं विदुरमृतास्ते भवन्ति ॥२०॥

20) The form of Him stands not within the vision and none beholdeth Him by the eye; but by the heart and the mind, for in the heart is His station; who thus know Him, they become immortal.

आनन्दो ब्रह्मेति व्यजानात्। आनन्दाध्येव खल्विमानि भूतानि जायन्ते। आनन्देन जातानि जीवन्ति। आनन्दं प्रयन्त्यभिसंविशन्तीति।सैषा भार्गवी वारुणी विद्या। परमे व्योमन्प्रतिष्ठिता।स य एवं वेद प्रतितिष्ठति। अन्नवानन्नादो भवति। महान्भवति प्रजया पशुभिर्ब्रह्मवर्चसेन ंअहान्‌ कीर्त्या॥

Transliteration

ānando brahmeti vyajānāt| ānandādhyeva khalvimāni bhūtāni jāyante| ānandena jātāni jīvanti | ānandaṁ prayantyabhisaṁviśantīti |saiṣā bhārgavī vāruṇī vidyā | parame vyomanpratiṣṭhitā |sa ya evaṁ veda pratitiṣṭhati | annavānannādo bhavati| mahānbhavati prajayā paśubhirbrahmavarcasena ṁahān kīrtyā||

Meaning

He knew Bliss for the Eternal. For from Bliss alone, it appeareth, are these creatures born and being born they live by Bliss and to Bliss they go hence and return. This is the lore of Bhrigu, the lore of Varouna, which hath its firm base in the highest heaven. Who knoweth, getteth his firm base, he becometh the master of food and its eater, great in progeny, great in cattle, great in the splendour of holiness, great in glory. –Taitriopanishad
