एकं सर्वगतं व्योम बहिरन्तर्यथा घटे, नित्यं निरन्तरं ब्रह्म सर्वभूतगणे तथा। ॥20॥

ekaṁ sarvagataṁ vyoma bahir-antar-yathā ghaṭe, nityaṁ nirantaraṁ brahma sarvabhūtagaṇe tathā. (20)

This verse compares the all-encompassing nature of Brahman to space, showing that just as space fills both the inside and outside of a jar, Brahman is present in everything and everyone, remaining unchanged. It highlights the idea that the divine essence is both within us and all around us.
