<< Chapter 10 verse 21

Simple

vedānāṁ sāma-vedo ’smi
devānām asmi vāsavaḥ
indriyāṇāṁ manaś cāsmi
bhūtānām asmi cetanā

‘Of the Vedas, I am Sāma-veda, of the Devas, I am Vāsava (Indra); of the senses, I am manas; of the beings, I am intelligence.’

I am the Sāma-veda, the chief among the four Vedas, Rik, Yajus, Sāma and Atharvaṇa; of the devas (celestials), I am Indra. Of the eleven senses[1. The five organs of perception, the five organs of action, and the manas=11. Vide Table, p: 257-258.], the chief manas, I am. Of the beings (or living things) I am intelligence (chetanā), i.e., what is intelligence in them, I am that.
