हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

ब्रह्माजीने कहा— प्रभो! आप अनन्त हैं। आपकी शक्तिका कोई पार नहीं पा सकता। आपका पराक्रम विचित्र और कर्म पवित्र हैं। यद्यपि गुणोंके द्वारा आप लीलासे ही सम्पूर्ण विश्‍वकी उत्पत्ति, पालन और प्रलय यथोचित ढंगसे करते हैं—फिर भी आप उनसे कोई सम्बन्ध नहीं रखते, स्वयं निर्विकार रहते हैं। मैं आपको नमस्कार करता हूँ॥ ४०॥
