Because I have transcended both the perishable and the imperishable, I am acclaimed in the world and in the Vedas as the highest of persons.
Beyond comparison of the Eternal with the non-eternal am I, Who am called by scriptures and sages the Supreme Personality, the Highest God.
Because I transcend the perishable Person and am also higher than the imperishable person, therefore I am styled in the Smrti and the Veda as the Supreme Person (Purusotama).
Since I am transcendental to the mutable and above even the immutable, hence I am well known in the world and in the Vedas as the supreme Person.
As I transcend the perishable and am even higher than the imperishable, I am declared as the highest Purusha in the world and in the Vedas .
