চর্মচক্ষে দেখে যৈছে সূর্য নির্বিশেষ ।
জ্ঞানমার্গে লৈতে নারে কৃষ্ণের বিশেষ ॥ ১৩ ॥

carma-cakse dekhe yaiche surya nirvisesa

jnana-marge laite nare krsnera visesa

SYNONYMS

carma-cakse-by the naked eye; dekhe-one sees; yaiche-just as; surya-the sun; nirvisesa-without variegatedness; jnana-marge-by the path of philosophical speculation; laite-to accept; nare-not able; krsnera-of Lord Krsna; visesa-the variety.

TRANSLATION

As with the naked eye one cannot know the sun except as a glowing substance, merely by philosophical speculation one cannot understand Lord Krsna's transcendental varieties.
