ŚVETĀŚVATARA UPANISHAD · 1.8

संयुक्तम् एतत् क्षरम् अक्षरं च व्यक्ताव्यक्तं भरते विश्वम् ईशः ।
अनीशश् चात्मा बध्यते भोक्तृभावाज् ज्ञात्वा देवं मुच्यते सर्वपाशैः ॥

saṃyuktam etat kṣaram akṣaraṃ ca vyaktāvyaktaṃ bharate viśvam īśaḥ ।
anīśaś cātmā badhyate bhoktṛbhāvāj jñātvā devaṃ mucyate sarvapāśaiḥ ॥

The Lord (îsa) supports all this together, the perishable and the imperishable, the developed and the undeveloped. The (living) self, not being a lord, is bound, because he has to enjoy (the fruits of works); but when he has known the god (deva), he is freed from all fetters.

F. Max Müller · The Upanishads, Sacred Books of the East 15 (1884)
