13.29
समं पश्यन्हि सर्वत्र समवस्थितमीश्वरम् ।
न हिनस्त्यात्मनात्मानं ततो याति परां गतिम् ॥
samaṃ paśyan hi sarvatra samavasthitam īśvaram
na hinasty ātmanātmānaṃ tato yāti parāṃ gatim

The verse

The phrases
समं पश्यन् हि सर्वत्र समवस्थितम् ईश्वरम् samaṃ paśyan hi sarvatra samavasthitam īśvaram is the seeing of 13.28, said as the reason for what follows. For, seeing the lord established the same everywhere. पश्यन् + हि paśyan + hi is recited paśyan hi (पश्यन्हि). समवस्थितम् + ईश्वरम् samavasthitam + īśvaram is samavasthitam īśvaram (समवस्थितमीश्वरम्).
na hinasti ātmanā ātmānam (न हिनस्ति आत्मना आत्मानम्) is what that seeing refuses. He does not wound the self by the self. हिनस्ति + आत्मना hinasti + ātmanā is hinasty ātmanā (हिनस्त्यात्मना). आत्मना + आत्मानम् ātmanā + ātmānam is ātmanātmānam (आत्मनात्मानम्).
tataḥ yāti parāṃ gatim (ततः याति परां गतिम्) is the going that follows. From that he goes to the supreme goal. ततः + याति tataḥ + yāti is tato yāti (ततो याति).
Sanskrit in this line
हिनस्ति + आत्मना hinasti + ātmanā is hinasty ātmanā (हिनस्त्यात्मना). i (इ) before a different vowel becomes y (य्).
ātmanā (आत्मना) and ātmānam (आत्मानम्) are the same noun, ātman (आत्मन्), in two cases. The instrumental is "by." The accusative is the one who would be harmed. The case is the whole difference.
Say it back
Say what he does not do to the self. If ātmanā (आत्मना) and ātmānam (आत्मानम्) collapse into one word, stay here. One case wounds, the other would be wounded.
