Whatever (yad yat | acc sg n) he sees (paśyati | 3p sg act pres) with his eyes (cakṣurbhyām | ins du), he should realise (bhāvayet | 3p sg act opt caus) each thing (tat tat | acc sg n) to be the self (ātmeti). Whatever (yad yat | acc sg n) he smells (jighrati | 3p sg act pres) through his nostrils (nāsābhyām | ins du), he should realise (bhāvayet | 3p sg act opt caus) each thing (tat tat | acc sg n) to be the self (ātmeti).
Whatever the yogi sees or smells is to be recognised as the self.
