Traducción
If [there] he does not taste — then, tasting, he does not taste: for there is no destruction of that power in the taster, since he is indestructible; but there is no second, nothing else, separate, that might be its object.

The third beat: taste. "Tasting, he does not taste": the power of taste is inextinguishable — but there is nothing there to sample separately: the taster abides in the taste of everything, not divided into dishes.
Beat by beat it is one casting: the faculty is indestructible (avināśitvāt), and only the "second" — the separate object — has disappeared. The depth does not take away powers; it takes away separateness, and in this the repose of the ātman differs from any swoon: there the light goes out, here only the boundaries do.
