Nāgendra–Brāhmaṇa Saṃvāda: Praśna-vidhi and Dharmic Approach on the Gomatī Riverbank
उन महात्माकी गतिको कोई नहीं जानता। उनके आगमनका भी यहाँ किसीको कुछ पता नहीं चलता। जो ज्ञानस्वरूप महर्षि हैं, वे ही उन नित्य, अन्तर्यामी एवं अनन्तगुणविभूषित परमात्माका साक्षात्कार करते हैं ।।
tasya mahātmanaḥ gatiṃ kaścid na jānāti | tasya āgamanam api iha kasyacid na kiñcid avagamyate | ye jñānasvarūpā maharṣayaḥ, te eva taṃ nityaṃ antaryāmiṇaṃ anantaguṇavibhūṣitaṃ paramātmānaṃ sākṣātkurvanti || iti śrīmahābhārate śāntiparvaṇi mokṣadharmaparvaṇi nārāyaṇīye saptacatvāriṃśad-adhika-triśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ ||
Nadie puede conocer en verdad el curso y el destino de ese gran Sí mismo; ni tampoco puede nadie aquí discernir el modo de su venida. Sólo aquellos grandes rishis, cuya esencia misma es el conocimiento, realizan directamente a ese Paramātman: eterno, el regente interior (antaryāmin) de todos, y adornado con infinitas cualidades y majestad. Así, en el Mahābhārata, en el Śānti Parva, en el Mokṣa-dharma Parva, en el Nārāyaṇīya: capítulo 347.

Educational Q&A
The Supreme Self cannot be grasped by ordinary inference or social report—His ‘movement’ and ‘advent’ are beyond common knowing. Direct realization belongs to sages established in knowledge, who perceive the eternal indwelling Lord (antaryāmin) endowed with infinite attributes.
Vaiśaṃpāyana concludes a Mokṣa-dharma/Nārāyaṇīya passage by emphasizing the transcendence and immanence of the Supreme: people cannot track or predict Him, while realized seers alone attain immediate vision of Him.
