Devanagari script

यदक्षरं निर्गुणमप्रमेयं सज्योतिरेकं प्रवदंति संतः । दूरंगमं वेद्यमनिंद्यवन्द्यं सर्वेषु हृत्स्थं परमं पवित्रम्

Transliteration

yadakṣaraṃ nirguṇamaprameyaṃ sajyotirekaṃ pravadaṃti saṃtaḥ | dūraṃgamaṃ vedyamaniṃdyavandyaṃ sarveṣu hṛtsthaṃ paramaṃ pavitram

Translation

Cette Réalité impérissable—sans qualités et sans mesure—les saints la proclament comme l’unique Lumière. Elle va au loin et pourtant se laisse connaître; sans tache et digne de vénération; elle demeure au cœur de tous et purifie au plus haut degré.

Visual Art Cues

FAQs

The Supreme is the imperishable, attributeless Light within all beings, and remembrance of Him is profoundly purifying.

Prabhāsakṣetra is the narrative setting; the verse articulates the Lord’s universal, inner presence.

None stated; the emphasis is contemplative knowledge and reverence.
