न यस्याद्यन्तौ मध्यं च स्व: परो नान्तरं बहि: । विश्वस्यामूनि यद् यस्माद् विश्वं च तद‍ृतं महत् ॥ १२ ॥

na yasyādy-antau madhyaṁ ca svaḥ paro nāntaraṁ bahiḥ viśvasyāmūni yad yasmād viśvaṁ ca tad ṛtaṁ mahat
Synonyms
na — neither; yasya — of whom (the Supreme Personality of Godhead); ādi — a beginning; antau — end; madhyam — middle; ca — also; svaḥ — own; paraḥ — others; na — nor; antaram — inside; bahiḥ — outside; viśvasya — of the whole cosmic manifestation; amūni — all such considerations; yat — whose form; yasmāt — from He who is the cause of everything; viśvam — the whole universe; ca — and; tat — all of them; ṛtam — truth; mahat — very, very great.

Translation

The Supreme Personality of Godhead has no beginning, no end and no middle. Nor does He belong to a particular person or nation. He has no inside or outside. The dualities found within this material world, such as beginning and end, mine and theirs, are all absent from the personality of the Supreme Lord. The universe, which emanates from Him, is another feature of the Lord. Therefore the Supreme Lord is the ultimate truth, and He is complete in greatness.
