Mandukya Karika 1.19

Sanskrit Verse

विश्वस्यात्वविवक्षायामादिससामान्यमुत्कटम् ।
मात्रासंप्रतिपत्तौ स्यादाप्तिसामान्यमेव च ॥ १९ ॥

Transliteration

viśvasyātvavivakṣāyāmādisāmānyamutkaṭam |
mātrāsaṃpratipattau syādāptisāmānyameva ca || 19 ||

Translation

When the identity of Viśva and the sound (letter) A is intended to be described, the conspicuous ground is the circumstance of each being the first (in their respective position); another reason for this identity is also the fact of the all-pervasiveness of each.
