In English by Swami Sivananda
One sees this (the Self) as a wonder; another speaks of it as a wonder; another hears of it as a wonder; yet, having heard, none understands it at all.
In English by Swami Sivananda
2.29 आश्चर्यवत् as a wonder, पश्यति sees, कश्चित् sone one, एनम् this (Self), आश्चर्यवत् as a wonder, वदति speaks of, तथा so, एव also, च and, अन्यः another, आश्चर्यवत् as a wonder, च and, एनम् this, अन्यः another, श्रृणोति hears, श्रुत्वा having heard, अपि even, एनम् this, वेद knows, न not, च and, एव also, कश्चित् any one.Commentary The verse may also be interpreted in this manner. He that sees, hears and speaks of the Self is a wonderful man. Such a man is very rare. He is one among many thousands. Thus the Self is very hard to understand.
