Translation/Explanation
Hindi: जिससे सूर्य उदय होता है और जहाँ वह अस्त होता है, उस तत्त्व पर ही सभी देवता आश्रित हैं। वास्तव में, कोई भी उस तत्त्व को पार नहीं कर सकता। यही वह (परम) है।
English: From which the sūryaḥ rises and where he sets, upon that all the devāḥ are established. None indeed passes beyond that principle. This verily is that (etad vai tat).
Commentary
Moreover, that prāṇa from which the sūryaḥ rises and into which the sūryaḥ alone every day sets, that prāṇa—i.e., the adhidaiva and the adhyātma aspect of ātman—as the devāḥ and speech, etc., as the senses enter into, while they last, as spokes in a wheel. Even he is certainly brahman. That is this brahman, the ātman of all. None certainly passes beyond that; none ceasing to be of the nature of that becomes other than that. This verily is that.
