You propagate the seven forms of sacrifice by knowledge known to the four priests and by the three Vedas. You are the one ātmā of all beings, without beginning or end, omniscient, and the soul within all beings.
You alone propagate the seven parts of sacrifice such as agniṣṭoma by the Vedas and by knowledge of the activities understood by the four priests--hotā, udghātā, adhvaryū and brahma. You are the jīva of all beings. You are the antaryāmī of all beings (antarātmā).
|| 7.3.31 ||
tvam eva kālo 'nimiṣo janānām
āyur lavādy-avayavaiḥ kṣiṇoṣi
kūṭa-stha ātmā parameṣṭhy ajo mahāṁs
tvaṁ jīva-lokasya ca jīva ātmā
You are unblinking time, and reduce the life span of all beings by times divisions. You are the unchanging antaryāmī, and unborn, great. You are the jīva of all jīvas. You are the antaryāmī.
You are unchanging (kūṭa-sthaḥ), since you do not undergo transformations. You are the antaryāmī (ātmā). You are the ātmā of all the bodies of the jīvas. The previous verse mentioned ātmātmavatām, which has the same meaning. However in the previous verse, it specifically refers to the Lord of the performers of sacrifice, as the instigator of actions of sacrifice and performer of the actions. This verse refers to the Lord in all other persons.

No cause or effect, no non-moving or moving being, is separate from you. The Vedas and its aṅgas are all your bodies. You are the person containing the universe in your belly. You are Brahman. You are separate from the three guṇas.
You are separate from the cause (param) and effect (aparam), from non-moving (anejat) and moving (ejat) beings. Vidyā means the Vedas, Upavedas, sources of knowledge and kalāḥ refers to the aṅgas of the Vedas. They are your bodies. Hiraṇyagarbhaḥ means the form with the universe in his belly. Brhad refers to Brahman. You are separate (pṛṣṭhaḥ) from the three guṇas.
