    I was hoping that someone would have answered your question by now. So, I am going to give it a try. I hope that what I submit to you is helpful.

    Things that you find on the following site may be of help to you. I hope that they are.

    .. Namaste(information) ..

    I tried the following site to translate the exact words of the text that you had submitted.

    A quote from the first site that I had mentioned in submission above:

    Please cut and paste these lines to Online Interface to ITRANS form
    And submit (4b) to see how the word is written in
    Devanagari script (which is commonly used for Sanskrit.)
    Some also say namaskar (namaskaara) or Pranam (praNaama).

    The interpretation varies depending on the objective of the individual.

    Here is one:
    "I honour that place in you where the whole Universe resides.
    When I am in that place in me and you are in that place in you,
    there is only one of us."
    "It is a statement of recognition and love for the unity that
    underlies and inspires all of humanity."
    "I bow to the divine in you."
    "The divinity within me honors the divinity within you."

    Namaste, Namaskaram and Pranamam are used for others.

    Aham Namaha gives the meaning you asked for.

    The Vedic dictum 'Aham Brahmasvi' has a much higher meaning.
    Brahma means Almighty who is Ominipresent.

    Many questions were asked in the ancient Hindu
    Texts about the nature of Parama Atama (infinite
    Soul, or Almighty) and Atma (soul). In the olden
    Days, Gurus used to put these questions to
    Disciples to test their knowledge.

    What is the constituent material of Almighty? All
    Created materials are subject to decay and
    Annihilation, Almighty is above the influence of
    Decay and annihilation. He is eternal.

    Then is Almighty a void? In terms of material
    Characteristics, Almighty is void (Soonya).

    Can this lead to the logic that Almighty is not
    There? No. Almighty is there. He is consciousness,
    The infinite consciousness. The Atma which is a
    Finite piece of Almighty, according to Advaita
    Vedanta - the personal consciousness. Soul was
    Created in the likeness of Infinite Soul.

    Since Atma is only a minute piece of Almighty, is
    It subjected to annihilation? No. Atma is also
    Eternal...

    In this sense, soul is the finite part of the divinity.
    By saying Namaha to the soul within you, you are
    Paying tribute and salutations to the Almighty.
    Sages who got fed up with worshiping so many
    Gods used this Manthra for Tapas.

    This is TRANSLITERATION & not translation.
    In transliteration, the words from one language are written phonetically i.e. as they are spoken using the letters from other language. The actual meaning of the word is not converted. It is used only for the names NOT words.
