As the all-pervading ether is not tainted, due to its subtlety, so the Self seated everywhere in the body is not tainted either.

Swami Sivananda

As the all-pervading space is not defiled, due to its subtlety, similarly the Self, present everywhere in bodies, is not defiled.

Swami Gambirananda

Follows the commentary of Shankara (Advaita).

As the all-pervading ether is not tainted due to its subtlety, even so, the self abiding in the body is not tainted everywhere.

Swami Adidevananda

Follows the commentary of Ramanuja (Vishishtadvaita).

Just as the all-pervasive Ether is not stained due to its subtlety, in the same way the Self, abiding in the body everywhere, is not stained.

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Follows the commentary of Abhinavagupta (Kashmir Shaivism).

As space, though present everywhere, remains unaffected due to its subtlety, so too the Self, though present in all forms, retains its purity unalloyed.

Shri Purohit Swami

जैसे सब जगह व्याप्त आकाश अत्यन्त सूक्ष्म होनेसे कहीं भी लिप्त नहीं होता, ऐसे ही सब जगह परिपूर्ण आत्मा किसी भी देहमें लिप्त नहीं होता।

Swami Ramsukhdas

जिस प्रकार सर्वगत आकाश सूक्ष्म होने के कारण लिप्त नहीं होता, उसी प्रकार सर्वत्र देह में स्थित आत्मा लिप्त नहीं होता।

Swami Tejomayananda
