वासुदेवस्वरूपनिरूपणं—सर्गक्रमश्च
Vāsudeva’s Nature and the Ordered Process of Creation
तद् ब्रह्म परमं नित्यम् अजम् अक्षयम् अव्ययम् एकस्वरूपं च सदा हेयाभावाच् च निर्मलम्
tad brahma paramaṃ nityam ajam akṣayam avyayam ekasvarūpaṃ ca sadā heyābhāvāc ca nirmalam
Ang Kataas-taasang Brahman ay walang hanggan—di isinisilang, di nasisira, at di nauubos. Siya’y laging iisang di-nahahating kalikasan; at dahil walang kapintasan na maaaring mapasa-Kanya, Siya’y walang dungis at dalisay magpakailanman.
