abhūdyasya paricchede nālamāvāṃ babhūviva | carācaraṃ jagatsarvaṃ yato līnaṃ sadātra ca
Lorsque nous cherchâmes à trouver Sa limite, nous en fûmes totalement incapables. De Lui et en Lui, l’univers tout entier—le mobile et l’immobile—demeure à jamais résorbé.
Viṣṇu (continuation of the Brahmā–Viṣṇu limit-seeking episode; 'āvām' = we two)
Listener: Devas/Ṛṣis (contextual)
Scene: Brahmā and Viṣṇu attempt to measure the limitless liṅga/pillar; the universe—stars, beings, mountains—appears as if dissolving into the same luminous axis.
