यावत्सञ्जायते किञ्चित्सत्त्वं स्थावरजङ्गमम् ।क्षेत्रक्षेत्रज्ञसंयोगात्तद्विद्धि भरतर्षभ ॥

yāvat sañjāyate kiñcit sattvaṃ sthāvara-jaṅgamam |kṣetra-kṣetrajña-saṃyogāt tad viddhi bharatarṣabha ||

यावत् किञ्चित् · yāvat kiñcit
whatever
सञ्जायते · sañjāyate
comes into being
स्थावरजङ्गमम् · sthāvara-jaṅgamam
unmoving or moving
भरतर्षभ · bharatarṣabha
O best of Bharatas

Whatever being comes into existence — moving or unmoving — know it to arise from the union of field and knower, O best of Bharatas.

Original plain-language translation

All existence is a meeting: every creature, plant or animal, is field wedded to awareness. Creation needs both — matter without witness is blind, witness without field has nothing to illumine.
