Well, the second shloka, or whatever, looks rather "easy": sarvaM hyetad.h brahmaayamAtmA brahma so.ayamaatmaa chatushhpaat.h .. 2.. (without sandhi, in slightly different transliteration [Harvard- Kyoto'ish: shh -> S; A -> aa; etc]: sarvam; hi; etat; brahma; ayam; aatmaa; brahma; saH; ayam; aatmaa; catuS-paat) This Brahma(n) [is] verily everything, this aatmaa (aatman) [is] Brahma(n), this aatmaa [is] He(?), divided into four parts. (Funny, "-paat" is pronounced almost exactly like English "part", although they most probably are NOT cognate words.)
