Ako’y yumuyuko sa walang-silang at walang-hanggang Kataas-taasang Kaluluwa, na sa Kanyang sariling mga lakas nagaganap ang paglikha, pagpapanatili, at pagwawakas ng sansinukob; maging sina Brahma, Indra, Shankara at iba pang panginoon ng langit ay di maabot ang kaluwalhatian ng di-nagkakamaling Acyuta.
FAQs
This verse declares that even celestial leaders like Brahmā (Aja), Indra (Śakra), and Śiva (Śaṅkara) find the Lord’s true nature difficult to fully comprehend, emphasizing His transcendence.
Acyuta means “infallible” or “never deviating.” Here it highlights that the Lord remains unchanged and supreme while the universe undergoes creation, maintenance, and dissolution through His own potency.
Recognize the limits of intellectual control over life’s changes and cultivate humility—offer your work, decisions, and anxieties to the infallible Lord who governs all transformations through His divine energy.
