The line
Cognition, desire, and effort are of two kinds, eternal and non-eternal. The eternal belong to the Lord. The non-eternal belong to the living self.

The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |

| dvividhāḥ (द्विविधाः) | nominative plural | Of two kinds. |
| nityāḥ īśvarasya (नित्याः ईश्वरस्य) | eternal, of the Lord | The Lord's cognition, desire, and effort do not arise and perish. |
| anityāḥ jīvasya (अनित्याः जीवस्य) | non-eternal, of the living self | Heard anityāś (अनित्याश्) before ca (च) in the first clause, and anityā (अनित्या) before jīvasya (जीवस्य). |
The phrases
Three of the eight. Pleasure, pain, aversion, merit, and demerit are not given this eternal form in the Lord.
Sanskrit in this line
Buddhi (बुद्धि) plus icchā (इच्छा) is buddhīcchā (बुद्धीच्छा). Short i (इ) plus short i (इ) is ī (ई).
Say it back
Name the three that are eternal in the Lord.
