Śaṅkarācārya's commentary
For, in Me, in the Pratyagātman, in the true Inner Self, abides Brahman, the Supreme Self (Paramātman) who is immortal and immutable; who is the Eternal Dharma, attainable by the Dharma of Jñāna-Yoga or wisdom-devotion; who is the unfailing Bliss, the Supreme Bliss, the Bliss Immortal. Because I, the Pratyagātman, the Immortal Self, am the abode of the Supreme Self, therefore by Right Knowledge one sees that the Pratyagātman is the very Supreme Self.
