Sanskrit

यद्रूपमेतन्निजमाययार्पित- मर्थस्वरूपं बहुरूपरूपितम् । सङ्ख्या न यस्यास्त्ययथोपलम्भनात्- तस्मै नमस्तेऽव्यपदेशरूपिणे ॥ ३१ ॥

Transliteration

yad-rūpam etan nija-māyayārpitam artha-svarūpaṁ bahu-rūpa-rūpitam saṅkhyā na yasyāsty ayathopalambhanāt tasmai namas te ’vyapadeśa-rūpiṇe
Synonyms
yat — of whom; rūpam — the form; etat — this; nija-māyayā arpitam — manifested by Your personal potency; artha-svarūpam — this entire visible cosmic manifestation; bahu-rūpa-rūpitam — manifested in various forms; saṅkhyā — the measurement; na — not; yasya — of which; asti — there is; ayathā — falsely; upalambhanāt — from perceiving; tasmai — unto Him (the Supreme Lord); namaḥ — my respectful obeisances; te — unto You; avyapadeśa — cannot be ascertained by mental speculation; rūpiṇe — whose real form.

Translation

My dear Lord, this visible cosmic manifestation is a demonstration of Your own creative energy. Since the countless varieties of forms within this cosmic manifestation are simply a display of Your external energy, this virāṭ-rūpa [universal body] is not Your real form. Except for a devotee in transcendental consciousness, no one can perceive Your actual form. Therefore I offer my respectful obeisances unto You.

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

भगवन्! अनेक रूपोंमें प्रतीत होनेवाला यह दृश्यप्रपंच यद्यपि मिथ्या ही निश्‍चय होता है, इसलिये इसकी वस्तुत: कोई संख्या नहीं है; तथापि यह मायासे प्रकाशित होनेवाला आपका ही रूप है। ऐसे अनिर्वचनीयरूप आपको मेरा नमस्कार है॥ ३१॥
