ब्रह्मणा विष्णुना चापि यस्यांतो नाधिगम्यते । तस्यातर्क्यप्रभावस्य को नु वेदाशयं प्रभोः
brahmaṇā viṣṇunā cāpi yasyāṃto nādhigamyate | tasyātarkyaprabhāvasya ko nu vedāśayaṃ prabhoḥ
جس کی حد تک برہما اور وشنو بھی نہیں پہنچ سکتے، اس بےقیاس قدرت والے پرَبھُو کے باطن کی مراد کو بھلا کون پوری طرح جان سکتا ہے؟
