न ह्य् आदिमध्यान्तम् अजस्य यस्य विद्मो वयं सर्वमयस्य धातुः न च स्वरूपं न परं स्वभावं न चैव सारं परमेश्वरस्य
na hy ādimadhyāntam ajasya yasya vidmo vayaṃ sarvamayasya dhātuḥ na ca svarūpaṃ na paraṃ svabhāvaṃ na caiva sāraṃ parameśvarasya
যে অজ, সর্বময় আধার-ধাতু পরমেশ্বর—তাঁর আদি, মধ্য ও অন্ত আমরা সত্যই জানি না; তাঁর রূপ, পরম স্বভাব ও অন্তঃসারও সম্পূর্ণ উপলব্ধি করি না।
Sage Parāśara (teaching Maitreya)
FAQs
This verse stresses Vishnu’s transcendence over time and cosmic processes, establishing Him as the eternal ground of creation rather than a being within creation.
Parāśara states that even the wise cannot fully comprehend the Lord’s true form, highest nature, or essential reality, signaling that scripture guides devotion and understanding but does not exhaust the Infinite.
Vishnu is presented as Parameśvara—unborn, all-pervading, and foundational—supporting later Vishnu Purana teachings where creation and cosmic order proceed from Him while He remains beyond complete definition.
