Śri Īśopaniṣad
Material Nature —Stringent laws operating on all living beings born into the material world, by which they evolve through the species of life, suffering in the cycles of repeated births and deaths. Vedic scriptures state that the only hope of permanently quitting the material world is to surrender to Kṛṣṇa, the Absolute Truth.
Māyayā apahṛta-jñāna —Class of men who think that they themselves are God, and that there is no necessity of worshiping any other God. They are unable, however, to answer how they have come under the control of the illusory energy, subject to the conditions of birth, death, disease and old age and restricted by the modes of goodness, passion and ignorance. God Himself, even when He visits this planet, is never subjected to its material laws, nor is He forced to take a body by His past actions, as are the ordinary living entities or the  māyayā apahṛta-jñāna .
Muḍhās —Asses. The word is used in the  Bhagavad-gītā  to describe those engaged in the pursuit of sense gratification.
Nārada —The great sage who travels through the universe playing his  vīṇā  and distributing the  Hare Kṛṣṇa  chant. He is called the original spiritual master; many great devotees are his disciples, such as Vyāsudeva and Prahlād.
Narādhama —The lowest of human beings. Refers to those who do not use the human form of life for going back to Godhead.
Nārāyaṇa —Plenary manifestation of Lord Kṛṣṇa, thus Nārāyaṇa and Kṛṣṇa are one and the same. Nārāyaṇa existed before creation, and He created the cosmic manifestation by His self-desire.
Nirguṇa —Without attributes, without material qualifications. Is also used to mean that the Supreme Person's qualities are beyond estimation.
Paramātman  (the Supersoul)—Expansion of the Supreme Lord by which He is appearing locally in the heart of all living
