Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
हे महात्मन्! ब्रह्मा के भी आदि कर्ता, सबसे बड़े आपको वे क्यों नमस्कार न करें? आप अक्षर हैं, सत् और असत् तथा उनसे भी परे जो है — वह आप हैं।
English Translation
And why should they not bow to You, O Great Soul — who are greater even than Brahma? O Infinite One, O Lord of gods — You are the Imperishable, the being, the non-being, and that which is beyond both.
Commentary (टीका)
Krishna is being (sat), non-being (asat), and that which transcends both. This places Krishna beyond all categories of existence.
