प्रसादस्य स्वरूपं यत् स्वसंवेद्यं द्विजोत्तमाः वक्तुं न शक्यं ब्रह्माद्यैः क्रमशो जायते नृणाम्
Transliteration
prasādasya svarūpaṃ yat svasaṃvedyaṃ dvijottamāḥ vaktuṃ na śakyaṃ brahmādyaiḥ kramaśo jāyate nṛṇām
Translation
O Bester der Zweifachgeborenen, die wahre Natur des prasāda — der göttlichen Gnade Śivas — ist nur durch innere Selbstverwirklichung erkennbar; selbst Brahmā und die anderen Götter vermögen sie nicht vollständig in Worten auszudrücken. Im Menschen entsteht sie allmählich, Stufe um Stufe.
