Lord Brahmā said: My dear Lord, Your personality and eternal form cannot be understood by any person who is trying to know You through the different processes of acquiring knowledge.

ŚB 4.7.31 · गीता प्रेस पाठ

नैतत्स्वरूपं भवतोऽसौ पदार्थ- भेदग्रहै: पुरुषो यावदीक्षेत्। ज्ञानस्य चार्थस्य गुणस्य चाश्रयो मायामयाद् व्यतिरिक्तो यतस्त्वम्॥ ३१

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

ब्रह्माजीने कहा— प्रभो! पृथक्-पृथक् पदार्थोंको जाननेवाली इन्द्रियोंके द्वारा पुरुष जो कुछ देखता है, वह आपका स्वरूप नहीं है; क्योंकि आप ज्ञान शब्दादि विषय और श्रोत्रादि इन्द्रियोंके अधिष्ठान हैं—ये सब आपमें अध्यस्त हैं। अतएव आप इस मायामय प्रपंचसे सर्वथा अलग हैं॥ ३१॥

स्रोत-खंड सीमा · यह हिन्दी अंश गीता प्रेस डिजिटल पाठ में इस दृश्य श्लोक-इकाई के बाद आता है; इसे स्वतः एक-से-एक टीका या संस्करण-समानता नहीं माना गया है।
