Sanskrit: स देवदत्तोऽयमितीह चैकता विरुद्धधर्मांशमपास्य कथ्यते । ा तथा तत्त्वमसीतिवाक्ये विरुद्धधर्मानुभयत्र हित्वा 
English: 248- Just as in the sentence, ‘This is that Devadatta’, the identity is spoken of, eliminating the contradictory portions, so in the sentence ‘Thou art That’, the wise man must give up the contradictory elements on both sides and recognise the identity of Ishwara and Jīva, noticing carefully the essence of both, which is Chit, Knowledge Absolute. Thus hundreds of scriptural texts inculcate the oneness and identity of Brahman and Jīva.
