3. В тебе, во мне, во всяком другом пребывает бог жизни; напрасно ты сердишься на меня, не переносишь моего приближения: знай, что мы все равны, и потому не будь горд, как бы ни было высоко твое положение.
3. In you, in me, in everyone else abides the God of life; in vain you are angry with me and cannot bear my coming near: know that we are all equal, and therefore do not be proud, however high your station may be.
Indian Mahmud Gasha [Mohamudgara].
From Mohamudgara · reworded by Tolstoy (more).
Not in Leo Tolstoy as EditorThe equality of all, where the Sanskrit asks for an equal mind, and the warning against pride, which this verse does not have, are in Jones’s English as Conway printed it, which Tolstoy translated closely.

The words shown were found, word for word, in the saved source text. Mohamudgara (Bhaja Govindam), v. 24 in the Wikisource text (v. 12 of the twelve stanzas in the English of Jones's Works); Conway (1874), no. CXXIII, God in All, pp. 75-76, margin 'Hindu. Móhadmud-gata.'.
The signature is the work's name, misread. Conway's margin, seen on the page image, reads 'Hindu. Móhadmud-gata.', a misprint for Mohamudgara ('the hammer of delusion'), the poem better known as Bhaja Govindam; Tolstoy's «Индийская Махмуд Гаша» renders that margin: 'Hindu', and 'Móhadmud-gata' taken for a name. Conway's text, closely: 'In thee, in me, in every other, the Lord of Life resides: in vain art thou angry with me, not bearing my approach: this is perfectly true, all must be esteemed equal: be not, therefore, proud of thy estate, however magnificent.' Tolstoy: 'the Lord of Life' becomes «бог жизни» (the god of life); 'this is perfectly true, all must be esteemed equal' becomes «знай, что мы все равны» (know that we are all equal); 'thy estate, however magnificent' becomes «как бы ни было высоко твое положение» (however high your position). Conway's source is the English printed in Jones's Works (13 vols., 1807, which Conway's list of authorities names) as 'The Ignorant Instructed': 'In thee, in me, in every other, Vishnu resides: in vain art thou angry with me, not bearing my approach: this is perfectly true, all must be esteemed equal: be not, therefore, proud of a magnificent palace'; Conway put 'the Lord of Life' for Vishnu and 'thy estate, however magnificent' for 'a magnificent palace'. The Sanskrit verse says: 'in you, in me, and elsewhere is the one Vishnu; vainly you are angry with me, impatient of me; be equal-minded everywhere, if you wish soon to reach Vishnu's state' (bhava samacittaḥ sarvatra). Jones's 'all must be esteemed equal' renders the equal mind as the equality of all, and his warning against pride, not in this verse of the Wikisource text, is nearest to its v. 11, 'do not be proud of wealth, people, or youth' (mā kuru dhana jana yauvana garvaṃ). Jones's colophon ascribes the poem to Śaṅkarācārya. The same day's Vishnu Purana (8-29.2) also comes from Conway, with his 'Lord of Life'.
Translation note. «Махмуд Гаша» is Tolstoy’s reading of a misprinted name in his English source for the Mohamudgara, a Sanskrit poem.
