Explanation
An eternal part of me becomes the individual soul in the world of the living, and draws to itself the five senses, with the mind as the sixth, which rest in nature.
The verse explains how the soul relates to the Divine and to the body: it is an eternal fragment of God, which gathers the senses and mind as its instruments in each life. The schools of Vedanta understand "part" (aṃśa) in their own ways, but all agree on the soul's divine origin.
भावार्थ
इस जीवलोक में जीवात्मा मेरा ही सनातन अंश है, जो प्रकृति में स्थित मन और पाँचों इन्द्रियों को अपनी ओर आकर्षित करता है।
