ព្រះវាចាដ៏ប្រសើររបស់ព្រះអម្ចាស់ ស្តាប់ទៅហាក់សាមញ្ញ ប៉ុន្តែអត្ថន័យវិញជ្រាលជ្រៅ និងមានទម្ងន់ធ្ងន់។ ឥសីទាំងឡាយស្តាប់ដោយបើកត្រចៀកទូលាយ ហើយពិចារណាផងដែរ; ប៉ុន្តែទោះបានចុះជ្រៅក្នុងអត្ថន័យដ៏អស្ចារ្យនោះ ក៏មិនអាចដឹងបានថា ព្រះអម្ចាស់មានព្រះបំណងធ្វើអ្វី។
It should be understood that no one can surpass the Supreme Personality of Godhead in speaking. There is no difference between the Supreme Person and His speeches, for He stands on the absolute platform.
