1. preface
Trying to get a handle on MK3.3-9 takes some effort.
In the end, I found Nikhilananda's new translation to be the easiest to follow.
Joseph Campbell edited the work and his sharp Mother English helps significantly.
2. in the beginning
Gaudapada spells out our simile first. Atman is like infinite space.
Death and infinite regression are to be seen through next.
K3.6 is the turn. No one is denying the Maya of names and forms.
3. in conclusion
Gaudapada isn't buying any chance of change in the changeless.
K3.7 leans into the turn. Atman is indivisible and beyond all cause and effect.
As the song is infinite space, the tenor is Atman, our song ends.
