अर्थMeaning
Gârgya said: 'The person that consists of the shadow, that I adore as Brahman.' Agâtasatru said to him: 'No, no! Do not speak to me on this. I adore him verily as death.' Whoso adores him thus, he reaches his whole age in this world, death does not approach him before the time.

व्याख्याVyakhya
गार्ग्य ने कहा, 'जो यह छायामय पुरुष है, उसी की मैं ब्रह्म के रूप में उपासना करता हूँ।' अजातशत्रु ने कहा, 'नहीं, नहीं, इसके विषय में मुझसे बात मत करो। मैं इसकी उपासना मृत्यु के रूप में करता हूँ।' जो इसकी इस प्रकार उपासना करता है, वह इस लोक में पूर्ण आयु प्राप्त करता है; समय से पहले मृत्यु उसके पास नहीं आती।
