TEXT 26
श्रीब्रह्मोवाच
अविक्रियं सत्यमनन्तमाद्यं 
  गुहाशयं निष्कलमप्रतर्क्यम् । 
  मनोऽग्रयानं वचसानिरुक्तं 
  नमामहे देववरं वरेण्यम् ॥२६॥
śrī-brahmovāca
avikriyam satyam anantam ādyam 
  guhā-śayam niṣkalam apratarkyam 
  mano-'grayānam vacasāniruktam 
  namāmahe deva-varam vareṇyam
śrī-brahmā uvāca—Lord Brahmā said; avikriyam—unto the Personality of Godhead, who never changes (as opposed to material existence); satyam—the eternal supreme truth; anantam—unlimited; ādyam—the original cause of all causes; guhā-śayam—present in everyone's heart; niṣkalam—without any decrease in potency; apratarkyam—inconceivable, not within the jurisdiction of material arguments; manaḥ-agrayānam—more quick than the mind, inconceivable to mental speculation; vacasā—by jugglery of words; aniruktam—indescribable; namāmahe—all of us demigods offer our respectful obeisances; deva-varam—unto the Supreme Lord, who is not equalled or surpassed by anyone; vareṇyam—the supreme worshipable, who is worshiped by the Gāyatrī mantra.
