ਹੇ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ! ਤੂੰ ਸੁਖਮ ਸਰੂਪ, ਅਜਨਮਾ, ਅਵਿਨਾਸ਼ੀ, ਏਕ ਅਤੇ ਆਦਿ ਹੈਂ; ਬ੍ਰਹਮਾ ਆਦਿ ਤੋਂ ਪਰੇ, ਅਜੇਯ, ਅਨੰਤ ਸ਼ਕਤੀਆਂ ਵਾਲਾ; ਨਿਤ੍ਯ, ਨਿਰਾਮਯ, ਅਮੂਰਤ ਅਤੇ ਅਚਿੰਤ੍ਯ ਮੂਰਤੀ ਵਾਲਾ—ਚਰ ਅਤੇ ਅਚਰ ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਭਿੰਨ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਕੌਣ ਯਥਾਰਥ ਜਾਣ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ?
Skanda (deduced for Kāśīkhaṇḍa context)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: A vast cosmic tableau: moving beings (birds, humans, animals) and unmoving (mountains, trees) arranged below; above, an abstract, radiant, formless presence with hints of an inconceivable icon—suggested by a faint four-armed silhouette dissolving into light.
The Lord transcends creation and even the highest cosmic beings; reverent devotion is appropriate when ultimate knowing is limited.
Kāśī’s sacred discourse context is upheld; this verse is theological praise rather than a direct tirtha-description.
None directly; the verse functions as a stotra (hymn) suitable for recitation.
