🪷 ŚB 6.16.21

Sanskrit, transliteration, word meanings, and translation for steady Bhāgavata reading.

Sanskrit

वचस्युपरतेऽप्राप्य य एको मनसा सह । अनामरूपश्चिन्मात्र: सोऽव्यान्न: सदसत्पर: ॥ २१ ॥

Transliteration

vacasy uparate ’prāpya ya eko manasā saha anāma-rūpaś cin-mātraḥ so ’vyān naḥ sad-asat-paraḥ
Synonyms
vacasi — when the words; uparate — cease; aprāpya — not achieving the goal; yaḥ — He who; ekaḥ — one without a second; manasā — the mind; saha — with; anāma — with no material name; rūpaḥ — or material form; cit-mātraḥ — totally spiritual; saḥ — He; avyāt — may kindly protect; naḥ — us; sat-asat-paraḥ — who is the cause of all causes (the supreme cause).

Translation

The words and mind of the conditioned soul cannot approach the Supreme Personality of Godhead, for material names and forms are not applicable to the Lord, who is entirely spiritual, beyond the conception of gross and subtle forms. The impersonal Brahman is another of His forms. May He, by His pleasure, protect us.
