Katha Upanishad 2.1.7

2.1.7 Yama to Nachiketa

या प्राणेन संभवति अदितिर्देवतामयी । गुहां प्रविश्य तिष्ठन्तीं या भूतेभिर्व्यजायत । एतद्वै तत् ॥

yā prāṇena saṃbhavati aditirdevatāmayī | guhāṃ praviśya tiṣṭhantīṃ yā bhūtebhirvyajāyata | etadvai tat ||

She who comes into being with the breath of life, Aditi, made of the gods, who entered the cave of the heart and dwells there, who was born through beings: this, truly, is that.

जो प्राण के साथ प्रकट होती है, देवताओं से युक्त अदिति, जो हृदय की गुफा में प्रवेश करके स्थित है और जो प्राणियों के रूप में जन्मी, यही वह है।

Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ

The boundless power that gives life to all things, imagined as the mother of the gods, is also within you. The divine is described in many forms, male and female, because no single form contains it.

वह असीम शक्ति जो सबको जीवन देती है, जिसे देवताओं की माता के रूप में देखा गया, तुम्हारे भीतर भी है। दिव्य को अनेक रूपों में, पुरुष और स्त्री दोनों में, कहा गया है क्योंकि कोई एक रूप उसे समेट नहीं सकता।

Yama identifies the Self with Aditi, the boundless goddess who comes into being with the breath of life, made of all gods, dwelling in the cave of the heart.
