Translation
His antaḥkaraṇa is the shelter of dharma, me, you, the Kumāras, Śiva, intelligence and citta.
Commentary

Tubhyam means of you. Kumārāṇām means Sanaka and his brothers. Bhavasya means Śiva. Vijñānasya means intelligence. Sattvasya means citta. Ātmā means the antaḥkaraṇa.

Religious principles, transcendental knowledge, and truth itself live in the consciousness of the Lord — and in the consciousness of those great sages who hold to Him. Truth is a person's awareness, not an abstract.
Reflection Questions
  • Whom in my life do I look to as someone whose consciousness actually holds truth?
  • Is my consciousness becoming an abode for truth, or for distraction?
