evaṁ hi yo veda guhāśayaṁ prabhuṁ paraṁ purāṇaṁ puruṣaṁ viśvarūpam | hiraṇmayaṁ buddhimatāṁ parāṁ gatiṁ sa buddhimān buddhim atītya tiṣṭhati ||
Translation
বায়ু বললেন—যে সেই পরম প্রভুকে, যিনি হৃদয়ের গোপন গুহায় অধিষ্ঠিত—পরাত্পর, পুরাণ, বিশ্বরূপ পুরুষ, হিরণ্ময় এবং বুদ্ধিমানদের পরম গতি—যথার্থভাবে জানে, সে-ই সত্য বুদ্ধিমান হয় এবং সাধারণ বুদ্ধির সীমার বাইরে প্রতিষ্ঠিত থাকে।
