6.29
सर्वभूतस्थमात्मानं सर्वभूतानि चात्मनि ।
ईक्षते योगयुक्तात्मा सर्वत्र समदर्शनः ॥
sarvabhūtastham ātmānaṃ sarvabhūtāni cātmani
īkṣate yogayuktātmā sarvatra samadarśanaḥ
Kṛṣṇa (कृष्ण) is still speaking.
The verse
He whose self is yoked in yoga sees the self standing in all beings and all beings in the self, his seeing the same everywhere.
नेपालीमा
जसको आत्मा योगमा युक्त छ र जसको हेराइ सबैतिर समान छ, त्यसले सबै भूतमा आत्मा उभिएको र आत्मामा सबै भूत देख्छ।
Where it sits
The training of the mind was for this seeing. The yogin does not leave the world behind in the solitary place. He sees one self in every being, and every being in that self. 6.30 will say the same seeing with Kṛṣṇa (कृष्ण) as the one seen.

Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| देवनागरी | Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|---|
| सर्व-भूत-स्थम् | sarva-bhūta-stham | accusative singular | standing in all beings. Agrees with ātmānam (आत्मानम्). |
| आत्मानम् | ātmānam | accusative singular | the self. |
| सर्व-भूतानि | sarva-bhūtāni | accusative plural | all beings. |
| च | ca | indeclinable | and. |
| आत्मनि | ātmani | locative singular | in the self. |

The phrases
īkṣate (ईक्षते) has two objects, and they are mirrors. सर्वभूतस्थम् आत्मानम् sarvabhūtastham ātmānam: the self standing in all beings. sarvabhūtāni ca ātmani (सर्वभूतानि च आत्मनि): and all beings in the self.
yogayuktātmā (योगयुक्तात्मा) is who sees. sarvatra samadarśanaḥ (सर्वत्र समदर्शनः) is how the seeing is: the same everywhere. This is the sama (सम) of 6.8 and 6.9, now as sight.
ca ātmani (च आत्मनि) is cātmani (चात्मनि).
Sanskrit in this line
īkṣate (ईक्षते) takes an accusative of what is seen. The first object is ātmānam (आत्मानम्). The second is sarvabhūtāni (सर्वभूतानि). ātmani (आत्मनि) is locative, not a third object: the beings are seen in the self. Case does the work of the English "in." Mix the cases and the two halves of the mirror collapse.
Say it back
The self in all beings, all beings in the self. If either half is missing, stay here.
