TRANSLATION

The Lord, whose pure form [sac-cid-ananda-vigraha] is uncon-
taminated by the modes of material nature, can be perceived by
pure consciousness. In the Vedanta He is described as being one
without a second. Because of His spiritual potency, He is un-
touched by the contamination of material nature, and because He
is not subjected to material vision, He is known as transcendental.
