Text 22] King Citraketu Meets the Lord 103

anama-riipas cin-matrah
so ’vyan nah sad-asat-parah

vacasi—when the words; uparate—cease; aprapya—not achieving
the goal; yah—He who; ekah—one without a second; manasd—the
mind; saha—with; andma—with no material name; riépah—or material
form; cit-matrah—totally spiritual; sah—He; avyat—may kindly pro-
tect; nah—us; sat-asat-parah—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.

PURPORT

The impersonal Brahman, which is the effulgence of the Lord, is
described in this verse.
